Nudging Change in Human Services: Final Report of the Behavioral Interventions to Advance Self-Sufficiency (BIAS) Project

This is the final report following the conclusion of the Behavioral Interventions to Advance Self-Sufficiency (BIAS) project sponsored by the Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation (OPRE); the goal of the report was to learn how tools from behavioral science could be used to deliver program services more effectively and, ultimately, improve the well-being of low-income children, adults, and families. The report outlines the findings from 15 human service agencies, all of which saw statistically significant changes in outcomes in at least one measured intervention. The domains covered within the 15 sites were child care, child support, and work supports.
