520    There is increasing evidence that the first few years 
       after birth are particularly important in child 
       development and present opportunities for enrichment but 
       also vulnerabilities do to poverty and other social 
       stressors. Elected officials have begun proposing 
       potentially costly programs to intervene early in the 
       lives of disadvantaged children. Have such interventions 
       been demonstrated to yield substantial benefits? To what 
       extent might they pay for themselves through lower welfare
       and criminal justice costs incurred by participating 
       children as they grow into adults? This study synthesizes 
       the results of a number of previous evaluations in an 
       effort to answer those questions. Conclusions are that 
       under carefully controlled conditions, early childhood 
       interventions can yield substantial advantages to 
       recipients in terms of emotional and cognitive development,
       education, economic well-being, and health. (The latter 
       two benefits apply to the children's families as well.) If
       these interventions can be duplicated on a large scale, 
       the costs of the programs could be exceeded by subsequent 
       savings to the government. However, the more carefully the
       interventions are targeted to children most likely to 
       benefit, the more likely it is that savings will exceed 
       costs. Unfortunately, these conclusions rest on only a few
       methodologically sound studies. The authors argue for 
       broader demonstrations accompanied by rigorous evaluations
       to resolve several important unknowns. These include the 
       most efficient ways to design and target programs, the 
       extent to which effectiveness is lost on scale-up, and the
       implications of welfare reform and other "safety net" 
       changes.
