The Migrant and Seasonal Head Start (MSHS) Study provides a national picture of MSHS programs, centers, families, and children. The MSHS Study was designed through extensive engagement and input from the MSHS community to better understand:
- characteristics of MSHS programs, centers, staff, families, and children;
- services that MSHS provides;
- instructional practices in MSHS classrooms; and
- MSHS supports for child, parent, and family well-being.

The webinar will provide researchers and analysts with:
- An overview of MSHS and the MSHS Study;
- Study design, sample, and measures;
- Primary datasets and documentation;
- Representativeness and weights;
- Illustration of MSHS analyses and findings; and
- Guidance on accessing the dataset, including ICPSR’s standard application process and the submission of the signed data use agreement.
