Abstract
Two years of data from HIPPY-MidWest City, a home-based preschool program, are analyzed using qualitative comparative analysis to assess the extent to which the involvement of parents in the program is contextually dependent. Two alternative scenarios are constructed on the basis of work on the nature of good service to high-risk populations and presented in the form of a model. I expected and found that parents in low-risk families would be highly involved no matter what level of additional family support for problems of living was provided by the program. I expected and found that parents in high-risk families, on the other hand, would only be highly involved if the program were able to provide additional support for the problems of living with which they were coping. The robustness of the conclusions and implications for future research are also discussed.
