Join us for a series of webinars focused on young adults, where researchers from the Future of Families and Child Wellbeing study team will share new findings and experts from the field will provide commentary and discuss implications for policy and services. The study is a joint project between Columbia University and Princeton University, and follows a representative cohort of children born in large US cities between 1998 and 2000.
