The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE) and the Office of Women's Health (OWH) have developed a study that examines how investments by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) support local efforts to promote healthy development in middle childhood in afterschool settings to support social-emotional, behavioral, and physical health. This webpage contains links to briefs that identify interventions and practices important to afterschool settings that serve children ages 6-12. This study focuses on the following:
- the extent to which evidence-based tools or interventions are implemented in afterschool programs;
- the promising practices for administering, improving, and sustaining these interventions at the local level; and
- how afterschool programs can better address the needs of boys and girls.
