I am looking for any evaluations which examine the benefits of targeting programs to low income, newcomer, or isolated parents vs. universal programs targeting all parents. I would appreciate advice on studies, links, and other resources

Daniel,

I am not sure if this would fit within the parameters of your search (given this is not technically a parenting program at all really - though some offer workshops and the like), but I would be very curious to see any intermediary results of the longitudinal study the province of Quebec has underway to evaluate their early childhood education centres (universal $7./day day cares). Having chaired the board of one of these centres for a while, I personally was able to see many obvious advantages of the universal approach (though the province continues to promise more spaces than they can build). Feel free to contact me if you like and good luck.
