This project will evaluate the impacts of policy rollbacks during the COVID-19 pandemic on perinatal health, a pivotal life stage that profoundly influences an individual’s lifelong well-being. Specific aims include assessing the consequences of the expiration of the 2021 Child Tax Credit (CTC) and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefit expansions. This project will also assess variations in the effects of policy rollbacks across different populations based on their vulnerability.
