Study Description
The Social Networks and Parenting Study is a longitudinal, mixed-methods study of parents, their social networks, their decisions about parenting practices, and the consequences of those decisions for children's health and well-being. The 2018-2019 Sociological Research Practicum focused on the end of the first wave of data collection through surveys with women at approximately 28 weeks' gestation, and the beginning of the second wave of data collection, through surveys and in-depth interviews with mothers six months postpartum. Additional data will be collected at 12 and 18 months postpartum.
