American Values and Social Policy for Children
Social science research that has affected social policy is discussed, focusing on the follow-up studies of the Consortium for Longitudinal Studies. It is argued that a study is likely to influence social policy if (1) it uses direct outcome measures so that the results are comprehensible to nonscientists, (2) it addresses the economic implications of the policy recommendations and so is congruent with contemporary political values, and (3) it is communicated directly to political professionals.
