NHSA’s Parent Gauge team wanted to help Head Start programs understand how their families are impacted by the pandemic, so they can accurately respond to their evolving needs. The Parent Gauge team pivoted quickly and worked with practitioners to create the Head Start Pandemic Survey, a tool that allows programs to measure the impacts of COVID-19 on their children and families. In just six weeks since the survey’s launch, Head Start staff have had more than 1,800 conversations with Head Start parents using the tool, and that number only continues to grow. (Note: We conducted our data analysis on approximately 1,300 of these responses.) (author abstract)
