News Room
A
primary goal of the National Research Center for Women &
Families is to
provide objective, reliable research and information to the media. As we
collect and analyze scientific data on the health and safety of women,
children, and families, we share our findings with media organizations
through press statements and interviews. You can find these statements and
press updates posted to our website as they are released. We encourage
members of the media to sign up to receive our press release via email and
broadcast fax by emailing us with your name, media affiliation and contact
information below.
A sample of our press releases, reports, testimony, op-eds, and published
articles quoting our work and views are included in the News Room. But, most
of the information that reporters find useful are in the sections of the web
site that include research-based articles on specific topics in women's
health; children and youth; and work, family, and economic security.
Please contact Hydi Miller at 202-223-4000 or hm@center4research.org
with your inquires. Ms. Miller can assist you with scheduling interviews with our
Center's president, Dr. Diana Zuckerman, and other experts on our staff.
