Through 3 interconnected briefs, the OCID analysis Oregon Childhood Program Participation and Early Educational Outcomes examines relationships between participation in select public childhood programs and subsequent early educational outcomes.

Part 1 – Early-childhood Program Participation highlights patterns of participation in publicly funded programs from birth through age 4. The full array of information is available in the interactive visualizations, which allow exploration into childhood program participation, including filters for geography, demographics, birth characteristics and other attributes.

Part 2 – Risk and Protective Factors examines which child and family characteristics are potential risk and protective factors associated with early educational outcomes. This analysis examined relationships between early educational outcomes and child and family characteristics including demographic traits, birth circumstances, parental characteristics, participation in public income-based programs, and child welfare involvement.

Part 3 – Dual-Program Participation and Early Educational Outcomes is intended to identify relationships between program participation and early educational outcomes to help guide policymaking aimed at improving educational outcomes.
