摘要

美国最大的儿童早期干预项目“启智计划”(Head Start)在20世纪60年代首次推出，大多数着眼于其长期影响的研究都忽略了该项目在20世纪80年代和90年代的许多变化所产生的影响。我研究了在20世纪80年代至90年代参加了“先发计划”的儿童，以及新进入劳动力市场的儿童，对他们长期身心健康的影响。我发现在健康方面有了很大的改善，导致健康状况不佳的发生率降低了0.15个标准差。最终，“领先计划”改善了参与该计划后长达25年的健康状况。

The physical and mental health returns of Head Start 25 years after participation: Evidence from income eligibility cutoffs

Most studies that look at long-term effects of Head Start, the largest early childhood intervention in the US, exploit its rollout in the 1960s, missing the effects of many changes to the program in the 1980s and 1990s. I study the effects of Head Start on long-term physical and mental health for children who attend Head Start in the 1980s–1990s and are new labor market entrants. I find large improvements in health, resulting in a 0.15 standard deviation decrease in the incidence of poor health. Ultimately, Head Start improves health outcomes up to 25 years after participation in the program.
