• Welfare, Children, and Families: A Three-City Study Data Workshop

The Welfare, Children, and Families: A Three-City Study Data Workshop will introduce researchers to data from a three-wave longitudinal survey of low-income families and children in the post-welfare reform era. This study has followed approximately 2,400 families in Boston, Chicago, and San Antonio since 1999, including a six-year follow-up wave completed in 2005. The data files include information on families' employment histories, income, usage of TANF and other needs-based programs, health and health insurance, as well as detailed measures of children's well-being and family functioning. This workshop will be of interest to researchers studying poverty, family, child development, welfare reform, women's labor force participation and income, and/or neighborhood ecology and will take place July 21-23, 2008. Applications must be submitted by Friday, May 16, 2008. Apply today!
