Title
Home Intervention Program for Parents of Pre-School Youngsters (HIPPY): An Efficacy Study
Abstract
his study was originally commissioned by The Centre for Literacy of Quebec in fulfillment of the terms of HIPPY-Montreal's generous four-year start-up grant from the Fondation Lucie et André Chagnon. The Centre and its partners, the Salvation Army and Elizabeth House, felt that given the unique design and complexity of the HIPPY program, a qualitative study would generate more usable findings than would a solely quantitative one. The Fondation Lucie et André Chagnon had requested that any evaluation of the HIPPY-Montréal program include a quantitative component; so, in addition to their intensive observations of and interviews with HIPPY staff and families implementing the program, the researchers also administered Peabody tests to participating children. This final report on the efficacy of the program includes the results of the testing along with the findings from two years of study.
