Introduction to CPIPR Topic Pages

The Center for Public Information on Population Research (CPIPR) engages in information dissemination activities designed to aid in translating scientific research into policies and programs. To further our goal of making research knowledge available to those acting to improve health in the U.S. and elsewhere, we have developed a series of web pages. For each topic, we provide an overview of recent trends in population health, disparities among racial and ethnic groups, some recent research results that illuminate the relationship between health and a variety of human behaviors and environments, and information about relevant on-going research funded by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health & Human Development (NICHD).

The research areas covered by our web pages reflect major areas of concern for the Demographic and Behavioral Science Branch at NICHD. They are:

  Child Well-Being
  Changes in Population Size and Distribution
  Families and Households
  Family Functioning
  HIV/AIDS
  Fertility
  Health and Mortality
  Migration and Immigration
  Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs/STIs)
