The CFDR consists of a highly energized, research-active faculty from several disciplines, including Sociology, Geography, Psychology,
History, Human Development and Family Studies. The CFDR is in a growth mode and developing momentum from both new faculty hiring and success in obtaining federal funding.
The faculty researches topics related to the health and development of children, adolescents and families. We capitalize on
the strength of CFDR faculty and focus on themes of adolescent development, immigration, health and mortality, and family structure and the well-being
of children and adults.
Much of the research conducted under the aegis of CFDR focuses on high risk populations, and involves multidisciplinary and multimethod investigations that have policy relevance.
We emphasize the integration of demography with broad social scientific perspectives to maximize the identification of mechanisms
underlying demographic events and thus provide a basis for public policy formulation.
The Center for Family and Demographic Research at Bowling Green State University has core funding from The Eunice Kennedy
Shriver National Institute of Child Health & Human Development (R24HD050959-01).
