Professor Chatterji Receives Research Grant

Pinka Chatterji, Associate Professor, is Co-Principal Investigator (with Barbara A. Dennison, MD, and Trang Nguyen, MD DrPH, at Health Research Inc./New York State Department of Health) on a 2 year grant funded by The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Policies for Action (P4A) program. The study, which started in October 2017, will evaluate the introduction of a 2018 NY law mandating that employers provide employees with paid family leave. The research will focus on estimating the effects of the paid family leave law on use of leave, disparities in leave-taking, and health outcomes.
