New Approaches to Studying American Families in a Changing Society - Audio Recording

Increasing diversity in family forms challenges traditional notions of family. The number of married couples has fallen to about half of households, and multiracial families are rising. These shifts are significant for both parent and child well-being. Given these shifting trends, research that challenges traditional notions of who "counts" as a parent, child, or other family member is essential for the development of policies and programs.
