Family Support Topics
Mathematica conducts extensive research on programs that focus on the critical transition from childhood to adulthood, with a particular focus on youth at risk of not achieving self-sufficiency. These risks include growing up in poverty, becoming a teen parent, or dropping out of school. We study strategies for addressing these and other risks and provide policymakers with reliable evidence to inform policy debates.

Mathematica supported communities in designing and implementing a comprehensive service model.
