As families undergo rapid change, family science is at the brink of a new and exciting integration across methods, disciplines, and epistemological perspectives. The purpose of The Science of Research on Families: A Workshop, held in Washington, DC, on July 13-14, 2010, was to examine the broad array of methodologies used to understand the impact of families on children's health and development. It sought to explore individual disciplinary contributions and the ways in which different methodologies and disciplinary perspectives could be combined in the study of families. Toward an Integrated Science of Research on Families documents the information presented in the workshop presentations and discussions. The report explores the idea of family research as being both basic and applied, offering opportunities for learning as well as intervention. It discusses research as being most useful when organized around particular problems, such as obesity or injury prevention. Toward an Integrated Science of Research on Families offers a problem-oriented approach that can guide a broad-based research program that extends across funders, institutions, and scientific disciplines."--Publisher's description.FamiliesUnited StatesCongressesFamiliesResearchCongressesFamiliesPsychological aspectsCongressesFamily demographyCongressesFamiliesFamiliesResearchFamiliesPsychological aspectsFamily demographyOlson Steve1956-488724National Research Council (U.S.).Committee on the Science of Research on Families.National Research Council (U.S.).Board on Children, Youth, and Families.National Academies Press (U.S.)MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781008503321Toward an integrated science of research on families3842944UNINA
