This brief draws on data provided by SET study participants when they applied for SET. Because the program is ongoing, it describes study participants who applied from July 8, 2013 to August 31, 2015 (n = 1,595). The study’s final report, expected in fall 2018, will include data on the full sample of study participants, implementation study findings, and causal estimates on the impacts of the SET program.
