The purpose of this study is to learn more about the long-term priorities of coastal community members.

We know that many children have unmet needs for care, leaving parents frustrated and discouraged. We hope, by documenting these challenges, and learning from families who have overcome them, that we can help all families.

The proposed study investigates and invests in the performance and cultural organizing by DJs in live party spaces. This project responds to the challenge of widespread mental illness, underattended in marginalized populations who suffer from intergenerational trauma compounded by socially entrenched injustices. Since DJs occupy a critical cultural space in African diasporic communities, their work should be considered a powerful and sustainable form of holistic health maintenance.

We are studying how exposure to a natural disaster, the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, affects population health over time. For fifteen years we have been interviewing a group of people who were part of a government survey before the tsunami, in 2004. Our goal is to understand the evolution of well-being after a disaster and how government and private assistance programs affect people.

The purpose of the study is to understand if and how teachers use experiential teaching.

Brain development in the first years of life is the most dynamic and perhaps the most important phase of postnatal brain development. In this time period there is a significant increase in overall brain size (with the brain reaching 80-90% of adult volume by age two) and the rapid development of a wide range of cognitive and motor functions. The ability to document brain development during this period of rapid and critical modification is absolutely essential to shed light on our understanding of brain development. This information not only offers profound scientific implications regarding our understanding of how the brain orchestrates the complex functional and cognitive developments but also provides great insights into possible mechanisms and etiology of developmental disorders. While results have been reported in the literature along these directions, two major limitations are associated with these studies. First, most of the studies
