Dr. Carolyn Heinrich's lab focuses on understanding the role of school-based health centers (SBHCs) in addressing children's mental health and educational outcomes. By using a rich dataset that includes health and education records, the research aims to assess how effective these centers are and identify ways to improve their services, especially for vulnerable populations. The lab seeks to bridge gaps in knowledge about SBHCs by exploring their operations and the mechanisms that lead to better health and education outcomes for children.

Dr. Lijun Song's research focuses on understanding the health and social dynamics of older adults who have never married. Through a groundbreaking pilot study, this lab aims to collect national survey data that examines how social networks influence health behaviors and outcomes in this unique population. The insights gained will help address significant gaps in the research and provide crucial information for improving the well-being of older never-married individuals.
