Yale CARES
Yale CARES is an interdisciplinary research team studying the health, mental health, and wellbeing of young children and adults in early care and education settings. The team was created in May 2020 in response to pressing needs created by the COVID-19 pandemic, consisting primarily of researchers from the Edward Zigler Center in Child Development and Social Policy at the Yale Child Study Center, the Yale Institute for Global Health, the Yale Department of Pediatrics, and the Tobin Center for Economic Policy at Yale. The interdisciplinary team consists of researchers from child and family policy, epidemiology, infectious disease, pediatrics, child psychiatry and psychology, vaccinology, and economics. Yale CARES conducts research in partnership with tens of thousands of early educators across the United States; publishes timely studies of health, mental health, and economic wellbeing in early childhood settings; and frequently consults with federal and state governmental departments and agencies.
Studies focus on COVID-19 transmission in child care programs, vaccination rates and hesitancy in early educators, effective methods for mitigating COVID-19 transmission, health and mental health of children and adults in early childhood settings, risk factors for severe COVID-19 outcomes, and others.
