This special issue of the Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology includes research reports based on the data sets of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development (SECCYD). One purpose of this special issue is to highlight how investigators who did not plan and execute the study are using the data sets to answer their own research questions, thereby expanding the body of knowledge derived from the NICHD SECCYD. We hope that this special issue will illustrate the rich questions and answers that can be obtained using existing data sets, and that it will inspire developmentalists to consider using existing data sets as one method to answer their scientific questions.
We are sad to report Merry Bullock's retirement from the journal from the end of this year, but also pleased to announce Kathryn Wentzel's appointment as Co-Editor, and Bridget-Murphy-Kelsey's arrival at the journal as Associate Editor.
