Abstract | In the spring of 2006, the University of North Carolina's (UNC) Center on Poverty, Work and Opportunity hosted a competitive process to support original research by UNC faculty members in the form of policy briefs. Each brief was authored by a UNC faculty member and was reviewed by an academic and a practitioner in the field that the brief addresses. This Snapshot summarizes the brief on Poverty and Early Childhood Educational Intervention. Noting that children raised in poverty: (1) Have poorer academic achievement outcomes than other children; (2) Are less likely to attend college; (3) Are more likely to become a teen parent; (4) Are more likely to smoke and use illegal drugs; and (5) Are more likely to be unemployed, efforts of Head Start, the Consortium for Longitudinal Studies, the Chicago Child-Parent Center Program, the Infant Health and Development Program, the Perry Preschool Program, and the Abecedarian Project are summarized. Findings show that intensive early childhood educational intervention made a dramatic difference in long-term outcomes for children in raised in poverty.
