Policy Analysis
Program/Policy Description This study is aimed at monitoring the impacts of the 1996 federal welfare legislation on American Indian families with children on reservations within the State of Arizona over the next five years (1997-2002). The study will inform the public policy debate on improving social and economic opportunities for low-income families with children on reservations. We analyze secondary data from administrative sources and primary focus group data from service providers and welfare recipients. Starting 1998, we will interview 400 reservation based families with children annually.
