This study evaluates the three-year impact of the Workforce Development Council of Seattle–King County’s Health Careers for All program. The report found that the program:
- increased the proportion of participants working in healthcare.
- increased receipt of postsecondary healthcare credentials from schools.
- had no detectable impact on average earnings, the study’s confirmatory outcome, or on most measures of financial well-being and parenting.
The program is part of the Pathways for Advancing Careers and Education project funded by the Administration for Children and Families in the Department of Health and Human Services.

Our Mission Impact Measurement Approach
Closing the Gap: Surveying LA Renters to Improve Housing Access
Abt helped HACLA collect and analyze current Los Angeles rental data, showing rents were about 12% higher than federal estimates and providing evidence to support voucher subsidy levels that better reflect local housing costs and improve access to stable housing.
Regulating Harmful Contaminants for Healthier Communities
Abt supported the EPA in developing and implementing data-driven regulations for hazardous chemicals—particularly carbon tetrachloride—helping turn scientific evidence into enforceable protections that reduce risks to workers, nearby communities, and the environment.
