Rand to survey residents on child development
Researchers with the Santa Monica-based Rand Corp. will be knocking on doors across Los Angeles County seeking families to participate in a nationwide study on the influence of neighborhoods on child social and educational development.
The Los Angeles Family and Neighborhood Survey, announced Wednesday, will survey 1,000 families in 65 neighborhoods, interviewing them about health insurance, child care, readiness for school and neighborhood life.
The project is the latest phase in a project that started in 2000 that has profiled mostly Eastern and Midwestern cities, leading to published studies on childhood obesity and health insurance among illegal immigrants.
