Strengths and Resilience Among Early Head Start Families
Project Summary
This study is a secondary data analysis of the most recent version of the Early Head Start Family and Child Experiences Study (Baby FACES 2022). Building on a resilience framework, the main objective of the proposed study is to examine the ways in which unique profiles of family- and program- strengths are associated with social-emotional well-being among young children participating in Early Head Start (EHS) programs.
The specific aims of the study are to:
-
Identify profiles of unique family strengths and examine their associations with child social-emotional well-being.
-
Identify profiles of EHS program strengths and examine their associations with child social-emotional well-being.
-
Test whether the associations between family and program strengths profiles and child social-emotional well-being vary across racial/ethnic groups, with a focus on Black and Hispanic children.
