Welcome to the Early Steps Multisite Project Website!

The Early Steps Project is an ongoing, longitudinal study of 731 families from urban (Pittsburgh, PA), suburban (Eugene, OR), and rural (Charlottesville, VA) sites.

Families were recruited when children were 2 years old. Today, the “children” are young adults between the ages of 22-24.

This site is for those who were enrolled in Early Steps in either Pittsburgh, Charlottesville, or Eugene in the early 2000s.

Please peruse this site to better understand the history, present, and future of Early Steps.

Please contact your site regarding any questions or concerns.
