Annotation: This study tests whether the child care choices of female-headed households differ because the mechanisms leading to female-headship status are distinct, thereby differentially conditioning the set of child care choices and mothers' abilities to pay. The variables examined include marital status; economic constraints; kin networks; and work history. Data are drawn from the National Longitudinal Study of the High School Class of 1972 (NLS'72), in particular its fifth follow-up survey, conducted in 1986.

Annotation: This paper describes Project ACCESS which was designed to examine access to follow-up and early intervention services for infants at-risk when they leave newborn intensive care units (NICUs). Information gathered from six meetings in New England identify best practices and the problems in referral of NICU graduates to three groups of services: infant follow-up programs, community nursing and early intervention. Participants in the state meetings included parents, pediatricians, nurse practitioners, representatives from NICUs and state-level public health and education agencies. The project is jointly funded by the Division of Maternal and Child Health Programs, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and the Office of Special Education Programs, U.S. Department of Education.
