Early Head Start, 22,23 the Comprehensive Child Development Program, 24 — 26 and
Early Start.27, 28 All of these programs have been evaluated
by using randomized control designs but findings from these trials have been mixed, with some programs showing benefits and others failing to show benefits.29, 30 In a recent review, Howard and Brooks - Gunn30 found that home - visiting programs had reported benefits for a number of
outcomes, including child abuse, child health care, quality of home environment, parenting, parental depression, and
childhood cognitive skills.
Relative to children with no ACEs, children who experienced ACEs had increased odds of having below - average academic skills including poor literacy skills, as well as attention problems, social problems, and aggression, placing them at significant risk for poor school achievement, which is associated with poor health.23 Our study adds to the growing literature on adverse
outcomes associated with ACEs3 — 9,24 — 28
by pointing to ACEs during
early childhood as a risk factor for child academic and behavioral problems that have implications for education and health trajectories, as well as achievement gaps and health disparities.

Paying Later: The High Costs of Failing to Invest in Young Children (PDF - 220 KB) Pew Center on the States, Partnership for America's Economic Success (2011) Reports the findings of a study that explored the social costs caused
by an array of bad
outcomes, including child abuse and neglect, high school dropouts, criminal activity, teen pregnancy, drug and alcohol abuse, and other health problems, and how these costs could be reduced
by investing in evidence - based
early childhood programs.
In addition, many
early childhood interventions have focused on children at risk of poor health and behavior
outcomes by virtue of family poverty or disability.
Research most clearly demonstrating this relationship includes evidence that low
childhood socioeconomic status (SES) predicts adult health
outcomes, controlling for adult SES (13) and evidence that a harsh
early family environment marked
by abuse, conflict, cold nonnurturant parenting, or neglect predicts adverse health
outcomes (12).
The first 5 years of life are critical for the development of language and cognitive skills.1

Early cognitive ability is, in turn, predictive of later school performance, educational attainment, and health in adulthood5 — 7 and may serve as a marker for the quality of early brain development and a mechanism for the transmission of future health inequalities.8 Early life represents a time period of most equality and yet, beginning with in utero conditions and extending through early childhood, a wide range of socially stratified risk and protective factors may begin to place children on different trajectories of cognitive development.

Problems with communication, specifically non-verbal cognitive ability, are a strong predictor of externalising behaviour problems.3 Children with ASD exhibit more severe internalising and externalising behaviours than non-ASD children, as well as a high prevalence of aggressive behaviour.3 These behavioural challenges can often cause caregivers more distress and mental health problems than the core ASD symptoms.4, 5 Increased child behaviour problems and parental (especially maternal) psychological distress compared with children without autism is established
early in life —
by the time that children are aged 5 years.6 These co-occurring, behaviour problems are of concern in
early childhood because of the importance of these
early years for longer term child developmental
outcomes.7
The positive effects of high - quality
early childhood programs on specific, short - and long - term
outcomes for children, families, and communities, have been quantified
by numerous research studies.8 In the short - to medium - term, children enrolled in high - quality
early learning programs are less likely to need special education services during their K - 12 years; are less likely to commit juvenile offenses; and more likely to graduate from high school.

outcome to vary
by geographic area (random intercept) and, in the all children model, the Aboriginal to non-Aboriginal ratio to vary (random slope), enabling us to identify areas that are performing better or worse in terms of
early childhood developmental
outcomes, and areas with greater or lesser inequality in these
outcomes.
In partnership with researchers from related projects in Canada, the UK, South Australia, the Northern Territory and Western Australia, Aboriginal organisations and policymakers, we will analyse whole - of - population data for New South Wales (NSW) to investigate the determinants of positive
early childhood development in Aboriginal children, and assess the impacts of two «real - world» programmes that were implemented under circumstances where evidence of their efficacy was unable to be derived from RCTs: the NSW Aboriginal and Maternal Infant Health Service (AMIHS) 45 and the NSW Department of Family and Community Services (FACS) Brighter Futures Program.46 Early evaluations of these programmes suggested some positive changes in proximal outcomes related to their objectives.45, 47, 48 However, each of these evaluations was limited by one or more of the following: use of single data sets, less than 2 years of outcome data and / or issues of confounding and selection

By school entry, 43 — 47 % of Aboriginal children have markers of developmental vulnerability.12, 13 In 2009, the first - ever national census of
childhood development at school entry showed that Aboriginal children were 2 — 3 times more likely than non-Aboriginal children to be developmentally vulnerable — defined as an Australian
Early Development Census (AEDC) score below the 10th centile — on one or more domains.14 The Longitudinal Survey of Australian Children reported similar disparities for cognitive outcomes among Aboriginal children aged 4 — 5 years, although the number of Aboriginal children was very small and not representative of the Aboriginal population.15 There is currently a dearth of empirical research that identifies the drivers of positive early childhood health and development in Aboriginal children, or characterises vulnerable developmental trajecto

by the White House Council of Economic Advisers describes the economic returns to investments in
early childhood education, including increased parental earnings and employment in the short - term, reduced need for remedial education and later public school expenditures, as well as long - term
outcomes such as increased educational attainment, increased earnings, improved health, and decreased involvement with the criminal justice system.
