Description
The Let’s Start project was a trial to implement the Exploring Together Preschool Program (ETPP) in the Northern Territory (NT) for Indigenous and other parents and children. It is a trial of the effectiveness of the intervention, rather than its efficacy. It aims to resolve many key questions about the process, necessary inputs, and most effective ways to engage with Indigenous and non-Indigenous parents and children in the NT. It examines questions of program fidelity against the demands of adaptation to the NT context, and evaluates program impacts and benefits for participants.,
Notes
The program’s development and delivery receives ongoing funding and support from the Australian Government Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs and the Cooperative Research Centre for Aboriginal Health.
The Evaluation is also supported by The NT Department of Education and Training (DET), the Department of Health and Families (DHF), and the Australian Research Council Linkages Grant Program which funds an evaluation of specific program outcomes.,
