Samples included 419 children ages 3-10 years in the New Hope program and 759 children ages 2-9 years in the Minnesota Family Investment Program (MFIP), which tested 2 program approaches. Nine poverty-related risks made up the measure of cumulative risk. Both MFIP program approaches reduced cumulative poverty-related risk. New Hope reduced cumulative poverty-related risk among long-term welfare recipients. In both New Hope and MFIP, significant linear relationships between cumulative poverty-related risk and parent-reported behavior problems and school achievement were found. Cumulative poverty-related risk partially mediated the impacts of the MFIP programs on children{\textquoteright}s behavior problems. Among long-term welfare recipients, cumulative poverty-related risk partially mediated New Hope{\textquoteright}s impact on parent-reported school achievement.}, keywords = {*Risk, *Social Support, Child, Child Behavior Disorders/etiology/*prevention \& control, Child, Preschool, Employment, Female, Health Services Accessibility/*statistics \& numerical data, Humans, Male, Poverty/*prevention \& control, Predictive Value of Tests, Public Policy, Regression Analysis, Socioeconomic Factors}, isbn = {0012-1649 (Print)
