“… Pratt et al (2015) used information on dental care receipt, hearing screening, vision screening, and access to regular medical check-up to evaluate the effect of Head Start on health service utilization. Lee (2020) assessed the Head Start effect on dental care receipt and medical care for an injury in the last month. Three out of five official-report health outcomes (i.e., access to health insurance, parent-reported child's health, and the need for ongoing medical care) have not been examined.…”

“…These parents did not read more frequently for their children at Year 3 ( Lee & Lee, 2016 ). However, all long-term findings for children with non-parental care at baseline were from endogenous TOT effect estimates and did not adjust for attrition and selection, which raise questions for its validity ( Lee, 2016 , 2020 ; Lee & Lee, 2016 ). In addition, multiple studies confirmed that home-based care compliers benefitted much more from Head Start on cognitive and social-emotional outcomes, with some effects lasting until first grade ( Feller et al, 2016 ; Kline & Walters, 2016 ; Zhai et al, 2014 ).…”

There have been consistent efforts to assess treatment effect heterogeneity (TEH) of Head Start using the data from the Head Start Impact Study (HSIS), a randomized controlled trial of a federally funded child development program for a nationally representative sample of low-income parents and their 3- and 4-year-old children in the United States. Including 28 studies on TEH of Head Start, this review found that multiple high-risk subgroups (e.g., children with lower cognitive abilities, Spanish-speaking dual language learners) experienced larger gains across a range of developmental and parental outcomes, but mixed results for several subgroups. Most studies focused on subgroup analyses, cognitive and social-emotional outcomes, and short-term effects. Further studies on distributional effects, health and parental outcomes, and long-term effects are warranted. Finally, suggestions for future research on TEH of Head Start are discussed, which are applicable to other child development programs and policy evaluations.
