The current study assesses the intergenerational impacts of parents' Head Start and other preschool participation. The study uses two nationally representative datasets that allow for: (1) replication and extension of Chor's previous findings; (2) consideration of additional and longer-term child outcomes including school quality, educational attainment, and adolescent psychological and physical health; and (3) application of a strong multigenerational causal framework not possible with HSIS data. The study first leverages the multigenerational data of the Panel Study of Income Dynamics to estimate marginal structural models using the joint probability of parent-child participation as inverse probability weights. Next, the study draws on rich longitudinal National Longitudinal Survey of Youth data to apply a combination of propensity score matching and fixed effects modeling.
