Impacting Federal, State, and Local Policy for 30 Years
Education, employment, housing, welfare, crime, the environment and health — these issues are critical in every society, and Abt Associates has made them a primary focus for more than 30 years. Working at the U.S. national, state, and local levels, we have participated in projects that affect virtually every aspect of daily life.
Abt Associates has helped shape healthcare, housing, urban development, environmental policies that have benefited millions of Americans, and improved the efficiency and effectiveness of many government programs. We've helped design and evaluate programs covering the entire span of human development, including prenatal care, early childhood education, grade school and postsecondary education, child and adolescent health and nutrition, employment, and aging.
Our work has included:
Designing prospective approaches for home healthcare reimbursement and bundled surgical payment.
Working with private employers to assess the skills necessary for high-performance work structures and the effectiveness of various training strategies.
Playing a key role in our country's welfare reform activities by providing independent evaluations of hundreds of welfare program initiatives across a broad range of social policies.
Developing information systems for monitoring crimes and justice system response.
