Children’s Future: Improving the Well-Being of Trenton’s Children

Dr. Grossman along with researchers at CRCW and P/PV are working on an evaluation of Robert Wood Johnson’s Children’s Future Initiative to improve the health and well-being of Trenton’s children ages 0-3. The study consists of both formative research aimed at help the program run better and summative research aimed at determining what the initiative achieved over a four-year period. The study includes a survey of parents, the analysis of health and birth records over the period, implementation interviews with staff and key Trenton figures, and observation.
