Abstract

This study describes an impact assessment of Boa Vista’s early childhood program Família Que Acolhe (FQA). A 2020 survey of 402 children, four to six years of age, was undertaken based on the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB)’s Proyecto Regional de Indicadores de Desarrollo Infantil (PRIDI) framework. The average treatment effects across eight indicators were estimated using multivariate matching. Treatment groups were assigned based on official participation levels of mothers in the Program’s activities and confronted with control groups of similar but non-participating families. Results show increases in participation led to improved scores across several indicators. FQA children scored higher in vocabulary extension, language usage, motor skills and height-for-age indicators, more prolonged breastfeeding, and higher treatment rates for underlying medical conditions. Cognitive skills of FQA children of the cohort studied scored below their counterparts. Social-emotional skills did not track well with other indicators, with unreliable results.
评估博阿维斯塔的Família que Acolhe幼儿计划
本研究描述了博阿维斯塔早期儿童项目Família Que Acolhe (FQA)的影响评估。根据美洲开发银行(IDB)的儿童发展区域指标计划(PRIDI)框架,2020年对402名4至6岁儿童进行了调查。使用多变量匹配估计八个指标的平均治疗效果。治疗组是根据母亲在项目活动中的官方参与程度来分配的,并与相似但不参与的家庭组成的对照组进行对照。结果显示,参与的增加导致了几个指标的分数提高。FQA儿童在词汇扩展、语言使用、运动技能和年龄身高指标方面得分更高,母乳喂养时间更长,潜在疾病的治疗率更高。研究队列中FQA儿童的认知技能得分低于同龄儿童。社交情感技能与其他指标的关系不太好,结果也不可靠。
