Home-Based Child Care Toolkit for Nurturing School-Age Children Study

Completed

Conditions studied: Child Development

In brief

The goal of this observational study is to build psychometric evidence for the Home-Based Child Care Toolkit for Nurturing School-Age Children (HBCC-NSAC Toolkit) provider questionnaire. The main objectives of the study are to: 1) assess the reliability of the HBCC-NSAC Toolkit provider questionnaire, 2) assess the evidence for its validity compared to other existing measures of HBCC quality, and 3) examine invariance across subgroups (that is, look for the absence of any differential item functioning \[DIF\]). HBCC provider participants will complete a questionnaire in the HBCC-NSAC Toolkit. A subset of providers will also participate in an observation of their child care setting. Parents or guardians of children receiving care from HBCC providers will complete a survey.
