Health Law and Policy Institute
EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT
IN COLLABORATION WITH THE TEXAS PROGRAM FOR SOCIETY AND HEALTH, a unit of the James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy of Rice University, the Institute directed an analysis of policies related to early childhood education and development in the state of Texas. Research Professor Phyllis Griffin Epps prepared and presented the results at a summit on early childhood education in January 2004. The analysis will appear later this year in an edited publication examining the role and significance of early childhood education and development as a social determinant of health.
