Child Well-Being and
Welfare Module

Texas Minnesota

Brief Summary
With questions drawn from numerous national surveys, this module investigates the association between public assistance program participation and factors that may relate to child well-being (e.g., health care coverage, reliable child care, safe neighborhoods, and  parental employment). In 1998 and 1999, this module was pilot-tested in a random sample of low-income families in Texas. Also, it included a special Medicaid sample obtained from administrative data in Texas and Minnesota.
