Understanding the long-term impact of COVID on children and families

The reason we are doing this study is to understand why some people who got COVID-19 are still sick many months after being infected, and how this affects the body. This is sometimes called "Long COVID" or "PASC", which stands for post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection. As part of the study, we would like to get information from you, and put that together with information from other children and families across the country. This will make it easier for us to learn about the different symptoms that children and families are getting, and to understand how many children and families are getting Long COVID, why some children and families are getting Long COVID, the effects that Long COVID is having on the body, and what can be done to help them.

Floodplain management

Flooding is a frequent, expensive, and life-threatening hazard across the United States. Some towns have limited flooding damage by limiting the amount of new development in floodplains (areas known to be at risk of repeat flooding). This project explores why some towns have been able to limit development while others have aggressively built in the floodplains. We interview local stakeholders and residents in eight towns (four that have limited floodplain development and four that have not). We will ask about regulations that limit development and control flood risk in their towns. We will ask about why these regulations were or were not adopted, the process of adoption, how they are enforced, and any challenges faced. We will ask about their experiences with the regulations and their perceptions of flood risks. Our goal is to identify lessons learned that can help other towns improve their floodplain management.
