Research
Professor Lindsay Chase-Lansdale specializes in research concerning social issues and their impacts on families and the development of young children and their parents. Some specific topics she has addressed in her research include two-generation education interventions, childhood education, college promise programs, workforce training, and immigration. Chase Lansdale has addressed the impacts of these subjects on the psychological health, economic well-being, and functioning of families.

One of her research projects titled CareerAdvance was launched in 2008 and combines both education programs and workforce training for young and low-income parents and families, as well as early education programs for children. CareerAdvance offers many supportive components such as career coaches, financial incentives, and peer group meetings along with its educational programs.

Much of Chase-Lansdale's research indicates that investing in quality early childhood education not only benefits children but also positively influences the educational pursuits and prospects of low-income parents, especially mothers. She explores the concept of "Two Generation Programs" that aim to enhance human capital in both low-income parents and children by combining adult education or job training with early childhood education.

Much of Chase-Lansdale's work focuses on connections between physical and mental well-being and the effects of positive well-being during adolescence on general health during young adulthood and parenthood.
