Welfare, Children, and Families: A Three-City Study,
Wave 1
Investigators:
The Welfare, Children and Families Study is a longitudinal study of children
and their caregivers in low-income families that were living in low-income
neighborhoods in three cities in 1999. The purpose of the study is to investigate
the consequences of policy changes resulting from the Personal Responsibility
and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA) . The survey was designed
to provide information on the health and cognitive, behavioral, and emotional
development of children and on their primary caregivers' labor force behavior,
welfare experiences, family lives, use of social service, health, and well-being.
The data come from completed interviews conducted between March and December,
1999 with 2,402 children and their caregivers in Boston, Chicago, and San Antonio.
The population of inference is children age birth to 4 and 10 to 14 who have
a female primary caregiver, whose caregivers self-identify as non-Hispanic
white, non-Hispanic African-American, or Hispanic of any race, and who live
in families with incomes below 200 percent of the poverty line, living in low-income
neighborhoods in Boston, Chicago, or San Antonio.
