Our Mission

IPR was established in 2000 with the goal of building a multidisciplinary population and health research center of excellence. IPR brings together behavioral and health scientists from six colleges and fourteen departments across Ohio State University to better understand the health and family outcomes of children, adults, and communities. IPR affiliates conduct research in three broad areas:

  • family demography (adolescent transitions, marriage, childbearing, intergenerational relations)

  • health and health disparities (child health and development, adult health disparities)

  • life-course and intergenerational

  • geographic

  • biobehavioral
