Gig Work During the COVID-19 Pandemic Abstract Though the growth of the gig economy has coincided with increased economic precarity in the new economy, we know less about the extent to which gig work (compared with other self-employment arrangements and non-gig work) may fuel economic insecurity among American households. We fill this gap in the literature by drawing on a sample […]*Journal Article, Health, Publications Municipal officials’ perspectives on policymaking for addressing obesity and health equity Abstract Background: Obesity evidence-based policies (EBPs) can make a lasting, positive impact on community health; however, policy development and enactment is complex and dependent on multiple forces.

The importance of what we’re calling “investable sums” in young adulthood […]*Journal Article, Financial Security, Publications How Would Americans Respond to Direct Cash Transfers? Results from Two Survey Experiments Abstract Universal basic income has gained renewed interest among policy makers and researchers in the United States. Although research indicates that unconditional cash transfers produce diverse benefits for households, public support lags in part because of predicted unemployment and frivolous spending. To understand how Americans would reorganize their lives around unconditional cash transfers, this article […]*Journal Article, Global Policy Initiatives, Health, Publications COVID-19-Related Fear among Youth in Israel Abstract The present study sought to expand the now expansive research on COVID-19 by examining COVID-19-related fear among adolescents in Israel, focusing on demographic variables, COVID-19-related variables (e.g., exposure and vaccination), psychosocial variables (e.g., adolescent wellbeing and perceived social support), and technology usage (e.g., amount of time spent on social media).
