Burt Barnow's Health Policy Research
Professor Burt Barnow has two research projects with Ellen Kurtzman, Rutgers University professor with a Ph.D. from the Trachtenberg School. One project examines impact of state marijuana laws and marijuana use on health of pregnant women and newborns. The second, with additional colleagues, analyzes how use of teams affects patients in hospital emergency departments. With a team representing multiple universities, Barnow also is researching who is served by TANF (Temporary Assistance to Needy Families) in three states, and how services provided and outcomes vary across the states being studied.

New Published Research by Dylan Conger
In a recently published paper, Advanced Placement and Initial College Enrollment: Evidence from an Experiment, Professor Dylan Conger and colleagues report findings about how participation in AP science classes affects college-going for students in schools that are relatively new to the AP science curriculum. Results from the experimental design study suggest that taking AP science increases students’ aspirations to attend higher-quality colleges but does not lead to enrollment in such institutions. Read the paper here.
