Abstract: The Administration for Children and Families at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services seeks approval for a one-time mixed-methods study to improve understanding about Head Start programs’ practices for the recruitment, selection, and enrollment of families experiencing adversities. Using data gathered from surveys and focus groups, this study aims to provide in-depth contextual information about recruitment, selection, and enrollment practices and experiences; identify promising practices; and inform training and technical assistance regarding recruitment, selection, and enrollment challenges and needs. This study does not aim to promote statistical generalization to different Head Start programs or to service populations beyond the sample.
