Title: Continued Tracking of Families 

in the Head Start Impact Study. 

OMB No.: 0970–0229. 

Description: The Administration for 

Children and Families (ACF) of the 

Department of Health and Human 

Services (HHS) plans to collect followup information from children and 

families in the Head Start Impact Study 

(OMB No. 0970 0229). In anticipation of 

the possibility of conducting an 8th 

grade follow-up for this study, this effort 

will collect information necessary to 

identify respondents’ current location, 

as well as other basic information about 

the parents’ whereabouts and future 

contacts, should the follow-up study be 

continued. 

The Head Start Impact Study is a 

longitudinal study involving 

approximately 5,000 first time enrolled 

three and four-year old preschool 

children across 84 nationally 

representative grantee/delegate agencies 

(in communities where there were more 

eligible children and families than can 

be served by the program.) Participating 

children were randomly assigned to 

either a Head Start group (that could 

enroll in Head Start services) or a 

control group (that could not enroll in 

Head Start services but could enroll in 

other available services selected by their 

parents). Data collection for the study 

began in fall of 2002 and extended 

through spring 2008, through the 

children’s 3rd grade year. 

It is the intention of the 

Administration for Children and 

Families to continue to examine 

outcomes for this sample of children 

and families through the spring of the 

child’s 8th grade year. In order to ensure 

that participants can be located for that 

future study, location and contact 

information will be collected from 

parents or guardians in the spring of 

2009, 2010, and 2012. A small set of 

additional items will provide 

information on the parents’ perception 

of the children’s well-being. The 

tracking updates will primarily be 

conducted over the telephone with inperson follow-up as necessary. 

Respondents: Treatment and control 

group members in the Head Start Impact 

Study.
