The household heads will be asked questions about their households, housing and neighborhood conditions, employment status and history, educational attainment, exposure to violence, and health. In addition, questions will be asked of the child and/or their primary caregiver that we expect to focus on various issues, including: children's health, use of services, and access to care; children's behavior problems and delinquency; social networks, peer deviance, and exposure to violence; future expectations and efficacy in school, community, and family; home environment, family routines, primary caregiver characteristics, and child care arrangements.
