Welfare Research, 1999 and Beyond

This fifth issue of the forum (vol. 2, No. 1) newsletter features a review of current large-scale research projects to assess the outcomes on families and children of welfare reform in the states. It outlines:

1. recent findings from selected large-scale welfare waiver experiments and national research studies;
2. relatively new federally-funded projects that examine different populations which generally have not been the subject of welfare research; and
3. the ongoing evaluations that expect to release final reports in 1999.
