Our Research

The Behavioral Insights and Parenting Lab investigates scientifically important and policy-relevant questions that are central to parent decision-making.

We test our interventions using field experiments (randomized controlled trials) and we partner with promising programs around the country to help them rigorously evaluate their impact and potential for scale. We also use surveys and other innovative techniques to learn more about parents’ decision-making process and the influences on that process.
