this chapter reflects the contributions of a large team of collaborators
at MDRC, Abt Associates, Child Trends, Optimal Solutions group, and
a number of universities, as well as by our colleagues at the Office
of Planning, Research, and Evaluation of the Administration of Children
and Families, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, which
conceived and funded the project. The views expressed by the authors
