Describe what it means for a program to “cream” a segment of the population.

What will be an ideal response?


Programs with limited capacities and stringent criteria for eligibility may select clients who actually need little help instead of those with the greatest need. This can make the programs appear successful, although those being served did not need the program in the first place, while a large segment of the neediest go unserved. This pattern has been observed, for example, in drug treatment programs that take addicts who are already motivated to rid themselves of their habits.
