Riverside: NEWWS Riverside data
In rmpw: Causal Mediation Analysis Using Weighting Approach

The National Evaluation of Welfare-to-Work Strategies (NEWWS) Riverside study. Immediately preceding the welfare reform nationwide in the mid-1990s, welfare applicants in Riverside, California, were assigned at random to either a labor force attachment (LFA) program (Z = 1) or a control condition (Z = 0) in an experimental study. The LFA program, with the goal of eventually weaning participants from the welfare system, emphasized seeking and securing employment, offered job search services, and provided incentives including a threat of sanctions should one fail to meet the program requirements, while the control group members were guaranteed cash assistance without the requirement for employment.
