The Carolina Population Center (CPC) is an interdisciplinary research center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. CPC was established in 1966.[1] The primary goals of the center are to conduct research on population, health, aging, and the environment, and share data and findings that push the field forward and train the next generation of population scholars.[2]
The Carolina Population Center has 67 faculty affiliates[3] representing 16 departments from the UNC College of Arts & Sciences, the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health, and the UNC School of Medicine at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Work at the center is divided into six major themes:[citation needed]
- Aging in Diverse Contexts
- Inequality, Mobility, and Well-Being
- Links Between Health and Social and Economic Productivity
- Measurements and Methods
- Population, Health, and Environment
- Sexuality, Reproduction, Fertility, and Families
CPC is the home of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health, also known as Add Health. It also houses the China Health and Nutrition Survey, the Cebu Longitudinal Health and Nutrition Survey,[4] the Russia Longitudinal Monitoring Survey (RMLS),[5] the Global Food Research Program,[6] data from family planning and reproductive health program evaluations (MEASURE Evaluation; Measurement, Learning & Evaluation), and data about the effect of social cash transfer programs on poverty or disease transition in several African countries.[7]
