Many programs within the Department have goals, objectives, and target populations that appear similar.

Reasons for Measuring Poverty in the United States in the Context of Public Policy — A Historical Review, 1916-1995. The Early Post-World-War-II Period
In July 1949, the chairman of the Congressional Joint Committee on the Economic Report [JCER — subsequently renamed the Joint Economic Committee] appointed a subcommittee to do a study of low-income families. 16 The appointment of this Subcommittee on Low-Income Families [SLIF] grew out of the post-World-War-II inflationary spiral.

Beginning Too Soon: Adolescent Sexual Behavior, Pregnancy and Parenthood. A Review of Research and Interventions.. Pregnancy Resolution
When adolescents become unintentionally pregnant they face several difficult choices. About equal proportions of pregnant adolescents have unintended births (37 percent) or induced abortions (35 percent), with smaller percentages of adolescent pregnancies ending in miscarriages or intended births (about 14 percent each). Given their young age and
Beginning Too Soon: Adolescent Sexual Behavior, Pregnancy and Parenthood. A Review of Research and Interventions.. Contraception
Effective contraceptive use generally requires planning and preparation prior to having sexual intercourse.

The Long Term Impact of Adolescent Risky Behaviors and Family Environment. 4. The Relationship of Parents' Education (SES) to Adult Outcomes
Parents' socioeconomic status (SES) can play a major role in a variety of ways. Higher income, higher education, and increased access to resources allow parents to invest more in their children's future. They have more access to information about education, jobs, and other opportunities. Furthermore, higher SES parents likely have better informati
The Long Term Impact of Adolescent Risky Behaviors and Family Environment. Chapter I: Statement of the Problem
The course of human development is not a series of random events. The lives of adults at any point in time are the result of previous choices and environmental influences. Primarily due to lack of good data, insufficient attention has been paid to the relationship between early life behaviors, the context in which they occur, and outcomes in later
The Feasibility of Using Electronic Health Data for Research on Small Populations. Organizational Conditions Required for Research Combining Multiple Data Sources
Because of the previously mentioned limitations with using data from a single organization’s EHR for research, the ability to combine EHR data with other electronic data sources is often needed to strengthen study results, particularly for small populations. Combining EHR data across institutions can allow for a larger sample size to increase th
The Feasibility of Using Electronic Health Data for Research on Small Populations. Technical Conditions Required for Research Using EHR and Other Electronic Health Data
In order to use information in EHRs for research, it is first necessary for a number of technical conditions to be in place, such as the ability to extract and format data for research, as well as to address issues with missing data and data quality. As with claims data, the information in EHRs was not collected for research purposes.
The Feasibility of Using Electronic Health Data for Research on Small Populations. Methodology
We conducted semi-structured telephone interviews with 22 expert informants experienced with use of electronic health data for research—in some cases specifically with our four target populations. Initial interviewees were identified through research team knowledge and literature, followed by a snowball sampling technique where interviewees sugg
