Note 1: Percentages are based on parent report of services received. Note 2: Average age of children was 3.2 years at pretest, 4.0 years at posttest and 4.9 years at follow-up. Note 3: ** ES/C difference, p<.05. *** ES/C difference, p<.01. Note 4: While some control group parents reported that they participated in Even Start between pretest and posttest, no Even Start project submitted participation data on any control family for that time period. Thus, there is no confirmation that any control group families actually participated in Even Start between pretest and posttest. Table reads: In the EDS, 28% of Even Start parents reported that they participated in parenting education classes between pretest and posttest. |
