Tracing the Health Consequences of Family Support during the COVID-19 Pandemic
This project fills this gap in the research creating a multidimensional contextual database linked to the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) and the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) to examine the effects of the pandemic across generations of American families. The HRS and PSID have collected data on the health and well-being of individuals and their family members for decades.

A “shovel ready” project leveraging the existing longitudinal data collected in the Fragile Families and Childhood Wellbeing Study (FFCWS), the longest running population-based US birth cohort, collected before and throughout the pandemic linked with multilevel COVID-19 related health, social and economic measures, and prospective COVID-19 impact assessments to examine these issues.
Optimizing Access, Engagement and Assessment to Elucidate Prenatal Influences on Neurodevelopment: The Brains Begin Before Birth (B4) Midwest Consortium
This study enrolls pregnant and postpartum women into a multi-wave study to assess medical, economic, psychosocial and substance use risk across pregnancy and the perinatal period, studying associations of these factors to infant neurobehavioral development during the first year of life.
A New Database to Measure the Association Between Income, Race, and Mortality: Inequality in Longevity During and Beyond the COVID-19 Pandemic Disparities
This project will build a public database of mortality rates incorporating socioeconomic and demographic variables across the U.S. population. Researchers will be able to analyze the sources of disparate impacts of COVID-19 on mortality across subgroups, with the aim of understanding how to reduce health inequality.
