Program Subgroups: Patterns of Impacts for Home-Based, Center-Based, and Mixed-Approach Programs

The research empirically defined three program approaches based on services provided: (1) a home-based approach, in which all families received the home-based option; (2) a center-based approach, in which all families received the center-based option; and (3) a mixed approach, in which families were offered a combination of home-based and center-based care or home-based services to some families and center-based to others.
