【 摘 要 】

The Urban Child Institute (UCI) developed the Conditions Affecting Neurocognitive Development and Learning in Early Childhood (CANDLE) Study. UCI then provided funding to the University of Tennessee Department of Preventive Medicine to start CANDLE in 2006 in Shelby County, Tennessee. The partnership was leveraged to support collection of prenatal and early-childhood data on a healthy and ethnically diverse sample. As part of its broader relationship with UCI (started in 2011), the RAND Corporation was then asked to review the data collected for CANDLE, create a strategic plan for their use, and prepare the data for further analysis.
