Article Abstract
Data from the Head Start Impact Study ( = 3540) were used to test for differential benefits of Head Start after one program year and after kindergarten on pre-academic and behavior outcomes for children at risk in the domains targeted by the program's comprehensive services. Although random assignment to Head Start produced positive treatment main effects on children's pre-academic skills and behavior problems, residualized growth models showed that random assignment to Head Start did not differentially benefit the pre-academic skills of children with risk factors targeted by the Head Start service model. The models showed detrimental impacts of Head Start for maternal-reported behavior problems of high-risk children, but slightly more positive impacts for teacher-reported behavior. Policy implications for Head Start are discussed.

Delayed posthypoxic leukoencephalopathy (DPHL) is a rare diagnosis that may present similarly to other more common neurological conditions, such as catatonia. While often seen with carbon-monoxide poisoning, it can also be due to anoxia due to other causes, such as drug overdose or cardiac arrest. Due to the delayed nature of its symptoms and overlap with other conditions, it can be initially misdiagnosed.
