Benefit Analysis

We conducted the first cost-benefit analysis of a federally financed, comprehensive early childhood program. The Title I Chicago Child-Parent Centers are located in public schools and provide educational and family support services to low-income children from ages 3 to 9. Using data from a cohort of 1,539 program and comparison-group children born in 1980 who participate in the Chicago Longitudinal Study, measures of program participation were significantly associated with greater school achievement, higher rates of high school completion, and with significantly lower rates of remedial education services, juvenile delinquency, and child maltreatment. Economic analyses indicated that the measured and projected economic benefits of preschool participation, school-age participation, and extended program participation exceeded costs. In present-value 1998 dollars, the preschool program provided a return to society of $7.14 per dollar invested by increasing economic well-being and tax revenues, and by reducing public expenditures for remedial education, criminal justice treatment, and crime victims. The extended intervention program (4 to 6 years of participation) provided a return to society of $6.11 per dollar invested while the school-age program yielded a return of $1.66 per dollar invested. Findings demonstrate that an established public program can provide benefits that far exceed costs. Key elements of CPC program effectiveness include an instructional focus on literacy, opportunities for intensive parent involvement, and implementation by well-trained staff within a single administrative system.

Set Up

The global educational landscape is now focused on educational provision for all. Many countries in the Asia Pacific, including Indonesia, have moved outside the “box” of traditional schooling. In Indonesia, equivalency programs have been set up to accommodate children and youth who have previously been pushed out by the traditional system. The Indonesian Equivalency Program gives young people, especially those who are from disadvantaged backgrounds, the opportunity to reengage with schooling through an alternative pathway. Attending alternative schooling provides a “second chance” at education for these young people and flexible learning strategies. The Indonesia’s Equivalency Program includes Package A (primary school equivalent), Package B (junior secondary school equivalent), and Package C (senior secondary school equivalent). Flexible learning strategies are the foundation of the equivalency program to bring education to excluded children and youth. Many disadvantaged Indonesian youth discover their own authentic learning in this program. This educational program has made a difference by empowering young people and creating the opportunity for them to graduate from high school and achieve long-term economic benefits.

Sound Measurement

Paediatric occupational therapists often assess and treat school-age children and youth presenting with visual perceptual dysfunction. It is, therefore, important that occupational therapists use visual perceptual instruments that possess sound measurement properties (such as validity, reliability, responsiveness and clinical utility). The Motor-Free Visual Perception Test – Revised (MVPT-R) is an instrument frequently used by paediatric occupational therapists. Clinicians need to be cognisant of the measurement properties of the assessments they use in order to provide the best level of care for the paediatric clients they serve. Therefore, a review and critique of the MVPT-R is presented. Even though the MVPT-R has been revised recently, little has been done to address issues related to its reliability and validity. Evidence of criterion-related validity and construct validity, in particular, is still lacking. The rationale for measuring motor-free visual perception is also not well developed and needs to be expanded in the MVPT-R manual. In addition, the issue of summing the scores from the five MVPT-R subscales is questionable. What the final MVPT-R summed score really measures in terms of a screening evaluation or diagnosis is also lacking. At this stage, this instrument should be used and interpreted by occupational therapists with caution.

Purpose:To provide a synthesis of research on trails and physical activity from the public health, leisure sciences, urban planning, and transportation literatures.Methods:A search of databases was conducted to identify studies published between 1980 and 2008.Results:52 studies were identified. The majority were cross-sectional (92%) and published after 1999 (77%). The evidence for the effects of trails on physical activity was mixed among 3 intervention and 5 correlational studies. Correlates of trail use were examined in 13 studies. Several demographic (eg, race, education, income) and environmental factors (eg, land-use mix and distance to trail) were related to trail use. Evidence from 31 descriptive studies identified several facilitators and barriers to trail use. Economic studies (n = 5) examining trails in terms of health or recreational outcomes found trails are cost-effective and produce significant economic benefits.Conclusion:There is a growing body of evidence demonstrating important factors that should be considered in promoting trail use, yet the evidence for positive effects of trails on physical activity is limited. Further research is needed to evaluate the effects of trails on physical activity. In addition, trail studies that include children and youth, older adults, and racial and ethnic minorities are a research priority.
