Examined whether
intervention provided to low-income parents of firstborn children
produced delayed benefits for later children by studying younger
siblings of children in a family-support program. Found that intervention
group siblings had better school attendance, were less likely to
need remedial services, and were more likely to be making normal
progress in school than control group siblings. (MDM)
