中文摘要
我们报告了对智利一项全国性育儿项目开展的大规模实验评估结果。该项目成本较低：仅持续6至8周，以每组8至12名家长的形式实施。该项目由国家卫生系统实施，利用其现有的实体基础设施和人力资源。我们发现，干预结束3年后，获得参与该项目机会的家长, 其子女的词汇能力和社会情绪发展得分提高了0.1个标准差, 与此同时, 照护者的育儿行为和观念也出现了幅度相近的改善。
Abstract
We present results from a large-scale experimental evaluation of a national parenting program in Chile. The program is low cost: it lasts only 6–8 weeks, and it is administered to groups of eight to 12 parents. It is implemented by the national health system, taking advantage of its existing physical infrastructure and human resources. We find that 3 years after the interventions ends, children whose parents are offered the opportunity to participate in this program increase their vocabulary and socioemotional development scores by 0.1 standard deviations, mirrored by similar improvements in caregiver’s parenting behaviors and beliefs.
