Every 10 years since 1970, NCFR has published a collection of articles written by expert scholars on a breadth of topics in our field. The 2010 Decade in Review is the June 2010 issue of the Journal of Marriage and Family.
If knowledge is power, then family scientists are powerful. Their research can shape public policy, inform the work of family-serving agencies, and allow practitioners to become more effective. But to do this, researchers must go beyond discovery to application and practice. In this issue, we explore how family scientists are using research data to create successful programs for children and families, help communities meet the needs of youth, and influence policymakers.
