Boundary Crossing: An Ethnographic and Longitudinal Study

SIEFL Core ⟩ Boundary Crossings Lab ⟩

Principal Investigator: Mary Lawlor ScD, OTR/L, FAOTA

Co-Principal Investigators: Cheryl Mattingly / Ann Neville-Jan

Period
Sep 2000 – Sep 2004

Total funding
$2,368,277

This four year ethnographic and longitudinal study will examine family cultures and family life among 30 African American families and their children in a way that attempts to avoid an overly homogenized description of how urban families at risk manage challenges in daily life as they try to address the health problems of children with illnesses or disabilities. In essence, this is a study of “lives in motion” (Elder, 1998, p. 8), building upon earlier research with 20 African American families who have children with special health care needs as well as the health care and school professionals who serve them.
