Childhood adversity related to structural racism and socioeconomic inequity can lead to poor lifelong health. The purpose of The CARING Study is to examine the intergenerational transmission of adversity, stress, and protective factors among families with young children. This study has a particular emphasis on understanding the roles of sleep/circadian rhythm, mental health, and biological stress. The long-term goal of this study is to identify opportunities for intervention to support families and reduce health inequities.

The CARING Study is currently recruiting caregivers with children age 3-4 years to participate. Compensation is up to $100 and a summary report of you and your child’s sleep. Click here to learn more or see if you are eligible to participate!
