Co-Investigator Beyond High School Project
Funded
by the Mellon Foundation and Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, this project
follows several cohorts of high school seniors (N=9,,600) from the point of
high school graduation through early adulthood examining an array of social and
developmental processes, and outcomes,
including educational and occupational attainment, health and family formation.
Because the BHS sample includes a high proportion of first and second
generation immigrants, key avenues of investigation include processes of
assimilation, acculturation, and ethnic and racial diversity in pathways to
adulthood.
Current
manuscripts in preparation or under review examine health disparities as
influenced by race/ethnicity, class, and gender.
