INTRODUCTION
This compendium is published by the Division of Children and Youth Policy within the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE). It summaries the results of the Divisions research projects from 1986 through the present and highlights future plans.
The role of research within the Division is to produce information on the organization, financing, and delivery of services to children and families, particularly among disadvantaged groups. Recent work has centered on issues related to implementing the expansion of Head Start and the child care components of the JOBS program. Special studies have focused on understanding the needs of drug exposed and HIV-positive children. The division is also pursuing several projects related to identifying family strengths and ways to promote them.
ORGANIZATION

TITLE: Day Care Centers: 1976-1984, Has Supply Kept Up With Demand?
PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: William R. Prosser, ASPE
SYNOPSIS: This paper analyzes the growth of day care center capacity in the United States over two points in time, 1976 and 1984, and compares it to the change in potential demand for day care caused by the increased numbers of mothers with young children who were in the labor force. It concludes that day care center supply increased more than the number of young children who have mothers in the labor force.

TITLE: Usage of Different Types of Child Care: An Analysis of the SIPP Data Base
PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: Lorelei R. Brush, Analysis Research and Training
SYNOPSIS: This report uses data from Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) to defend the theory that the availability of child care providers and the affordability of different care arrangements together predict the kinds of care families use. The report differentiates the sorts of families who use informal child-care (care by a childs parents, siblings, grandparents or other relatives) from those using more formal arrangements (care by nonrelatives in homes or day care facilities) and those who pay for care from those who do not pay. The report notes that SIPP only analyzes what child care parents use, not what care they prefer. Policy planners must know the parents preferences in order to apply the SIPP information to predict child care patterns among participants in Federal programs.

TITLE: Child Care Used by Working Women in the AFDC Population: An Analysis of the SIPP Data Base
PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: Lorelei R. Brush, Analysis, Research and Training
SYNOPSIS: This report argues that, if current behavior is indicative of future behavior, then about half of new AFDC participants will choose informal care for their children. The expenses of parents who use informal care, which is usually free or inexpensive, will be covered by current program expenditures. The analysis is based on Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) data on child care for working guardians on AFDC. These data can help work/welfare program planners determine child care requirements for new initiatives encouraging AFDC recipients to work.

TITLE: Quality in Child Care: What It Is and How It Can Be Encouraged: A Speech for the Family Impact Seminar
PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: Ann Segal, ASPE
SYNOPSIS: This speech briefly describes several issues concerning the regulation of child care including: who should regulate child care, whether standards effectively improve quality, how child care has been regulated since the late 1800s, current regulation practices, and how current child care legislation addresses regulation. The author concludes that in order to improve the quality of day care environments, there should be training and technical assistance for providers, and parents must be taught how to choose a good provider and then act accordingly.

TITLE: Child Care and Self-Sufficiency: Choices of AFDC Mothers
PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: Doug Wolf and Freya Sonenstein, Urban Institute
SYNOPSIS: This grant supported analyses of the Child Care and Self-Sufficiency and Massachusetts ET Choices databases. This research explored (1) the types of child care chosen by mothers receiving public assistance, (2) the relationship between choice of arrangements and type of productive activity (education, training, or employment), (3) how these mothers decisions concerning care and productive activity are influenced by stated child care preferences and perceptions about the availability of care, and (4) which factors predict the durability of child care arrangements and productive activity over time.

TITLE: Infant Attachment Seminar
PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: To be determined
SYNOPSIS: As states implement the Family Support Act and Congress considers alternative child care policies, policy-makers should be compelled to ask: What effect does early, extended non-parental care have on the infants development? The contractor selected under this procurement will be responsible for conducting a literature review on infant attachment theory research and for convening a seminar comprised of noted researchers and clinicians addressing infant attachment theory. These experts will identify gaps in the infant attachment research and propose a research agenda. The seminar will be integrative, seeking to draw upon the contributions of research developmentalists, the behavioral tradition, and the psychodynamic orientation. The literature review and research agenda resulting from this seminar will be an important first step to answering this important question.
