NOTICE: The project that is the subject of this report was approved by the Governing Board
of the National Research Council, whose members are drawn from the councils of the National
Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the Institute of Medicine.
The members of the committee responsible for the report were chosen for their special competences
and with regard for appropriate balance.
This report has been reviewed by a group other than the authors according to procedures
approved by a Report Review Committee consisting of members of the National Academy of
Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the Institute of Medicine.
The National Academy of Sciences is a private, nonprofit, self-perpetuating society of
distinguished scholars engaged in scientific and engineering research, dedicated to the further-
ance of science and technology and to their use for the general welfare. Upon the authority of
the charter granted to it by the Congress in 1863, the Academy has a mandate that requires it to
advise the federal government on scientific and technical matters. Dr. Bruce M. Alberts is
president of the National Academy of Sciences.
The National Academy of Engineering was established in 1964, under the charter of the
National Academy of Sciences, as a parallel organization of outstanding engineers. It is
autonomous in its administration and in the selection of its members, sharing with the National
Academy of Sciences the responsibility for advising the federal government. The National
Academy of Engineering also sponsors engineering programs aimed at meeting national needs,
encourages education and research, and recognizes the superior achievements of engineers.
Dr. Harold Liebowitz is president of the National Academy of Engineering.
The Institute of Medicine was established in 1970 by the National Academy of Sciences
to secure the services of eminent members of appropriate professions in the examination of
policy matters pertaining to the health of the public. The Institute acts under the responsibility
given to the National Academy of Sciences by its congressional charter to be an adviser to the
federal government and, upon its own initiative, to identify issues of medical care, research,
and education. Dr. Kenneth I. Shine is president of the Institute of Medicine.
The National Research Council was organized by the National Academy of Sciences in
1916 to associate the broad community of science and technology with the Academy's pur-
poses of furthering knowledge and advising the federal government. Functioning in accor-
dance with general policies determined by the Academy, the Council has become the principal
operating agency of both the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of
Engineering in providing services to the government, the public, and the scientific and engi-
neering communities. The Council is administered jointly by both Academies and the Institute
of Medicine. Dr. Bruce M. Alberts and Dr. Harold Liebowitz are chairman and vice chairman,
respectively, of the National Research Council.
This project is supported by funds provided by the National Research Council and the
Annie E. Casey Foundation.

Acknowledgments
The Board on Children and Families and the Committee on National
Statistics wish to thank the authors of the papers in this volume, as well as
the many presenters and discussants who provided thoughtful comments at
the workshop. We especially thank Robert Hauser of the University of
Wisconsin for serving as chair.
We also gratefully acknowledge the commitment and support of all
those who worked collaboratively to organize the workshop and prepare
this report. In the early stages of the project, Constance Citro, Deborah
Phillips, and Miron Straf developed plans for the workshop. Nancy Maritato
took the major responsibility for organizing the workshop and prepared an
initial draft of the workshop summary. Drusilla Barnes and Agnes Gaskin
assisted in the planning and organizing efforts. Deborah Phillips and Anne
Bridgman took the lead in making revisions, responding to review, and
preparing the final draft. Christine McShane edited the report and prepared
it for publication.
