The mission of the Center for Child and Family Policy is to solve problems facing children in contemporary society by bringing together scholars from many disciplines with policy makers and practitioners.

The Center is addressing issues of early childhood adversity, education policy reform, and youth violence and problem behaviors. It is home to the largest violence-prevention study ever funded by the National Institute of Mental Health, the largest youth-violence-prevention experiment for middle schools ever funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a major effort to evaluate the effects of education reforms on children across North Carolina, and an effort to promote healthy child development in the community of Durham, North Carolina by focusing on parent-child relationships.
