perceive policy debates and actual policy changes emanating from Washington, DC that affect themselves, neighbors, local employers and health care facilities? We will track data on social and economic trends in two counties in each state and conduct interviews with leaders and residents over time.
Resilience in Survivors of Hurricane Katrina (RISK): The Effects of Hurricane Katrina on Vulnerable Populations (with Jean Rhodes). Website: riskproject.org A longitudinal study of 1,019 low-income parents from New Orleans who were interviewed about their health, socioeconomic status and political attitudes before and after Hurricane Katrina. We explore factors that promote resilience and heighten vulnerability within this group, through surveys of the whole group and in-depth qualitative interviews with a small subset. Funded by the National Institute of Health (NICHD), National Science Foundation, the MacArthur and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundations.
Social Welfare and the Integration of Older Immigrants in the United States (with Rocio Calvo). In Europe there is a long history of studying the role of social welfare in the integration of immigrant families. In the United States there is little research available on how immigrants learn about what social benefits they are entitled to, how they understand these rights and possibilities for aid, and how they experience the process of applying for and receiving benefits. We are conducting in-depth interviews with documented and undocumented immigrants and service providers to understand how they access and experience different government social programs and how that affects their incorporation into the host society. Funded by the Russell Sage Foundation.
