Zeanah is a principal investigator of a project that moved children out of Romanian orphanages into foster care following the fall of the dictator Nicolae Ceausescu.

His talk, “Recovery from Severe Deprivation: The Bucharest Early Intervention Project,” will chronicle the superior outcomes for children in foster care as compared with outcomes for children who stayed in the institutions.

The Bucharest Early Intervention Project is a longitudinal, randomized controlled trial of foster care as an alternative to institutional care among severely deprived, abandoned young children in Romania. This talk will present key findings from the study.
