Research Projects in the CDFS Department


	Research Group on Rural Well-being Our group utilizes the expertise we derive from our distinct areas of specialization to understand issues germane to rural families and communities. Our work covers the entire range of the lifespan, from childhood through late adulthood. We approach our research questions utilizing an ecological perspective, which situates the individual within his/her broader context including family and community. A core belief guiding our work is that individual, familial, and community well-being are intertwined.
	Mental Health and Aging Education project is to educate and strengthen the networks that older adults interact with daily, enhancing the capacity of natural caregivers to recognize signs of mental health concerns and make appropriate referrals. The Mental Health and Aging Education project was developed by the North Dakota State University Child Development and Family Science Department. The project was sponsored by the Division of Mental Health and Substance Abuse, North Dakota Department of Human Services.

	Infant Cognitive Development Lab At the Infant Cognitive Development Lab at NDSU, weâ€™d like you and your baby to participate in research on how babies recognize and learn about toys and other objects. If your child is under two years old, please consider joining in one of our studies. When you come to our lab, you will stay with your baby during the entire 20- to 30-minute period. Your infant will see or play with different toys, and we will observe your babyâ€™s actions. You also may be asked to play with your child. With your permission, we often videotape the activity to further our studies. Information is carefully protected for your privacy.
