Family Support Topics
Mathematica conducts extensive research on programs that focus on the critical transition from childhood to adulthood, with a particular focus on youth at risk of not achieving self-sufficiency. These risks include growing up in poverty, becoming a teen parent, or dropping out of school. We study strategies for addressing these and other risks and provide policymakers with reliable evidence to inform policy debates.
