Study Description
The Baby's First Years study is a pathbreaking random-assignment study of the impact of monthly unconditional cash gifts to low-income mothers of infants during the first four years of their child's life. The aim is to understand the causal effects of poverty reduction on early childhood development and family life. One thousand racially and ethnically diverse mothers were recruited from hospitals shortly after giving birth in each of four metropolitan areas - New York City, New Orleans, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota, and Omaha, Nebraska. Participating mothers in each site were randomized to receive either $333/month or $20/month. More about the study, media coverage, and its motivation can be found here, here, and here.
Participating families completed questionnaires around the focal child's birthday at 12, 24, and 36 months. At 48 months, families will be invited to local university settings so that we may directly assess children's cognitive and emotional development and brain function. Data collection at 48 months will include standardized assessments of children's cognitive development, measures of child brain activity (EEG/ERP), maternal and children's hair cortisol, epigenetics, maternal executive functioning, and administration of a survey on health and family life.
