Publications
The Carsey Institute builds knowledge for families and communities by providing data and analysis in engaging, accessible publications. The Institute is currently producing reports, policy briefs, and fact sheets on interdisciplnary research that addresses the challenges facing Americans today.
Carsey Institute publications provide historical perspective, incorporate the most recent data available, and explore policy implications. Community case studies illustrate critical challenges and useful strategies for rural areas and the nation as a whole.
Hard copies of our publications are available through out Communications Department. Please e-mail Amy Sterndale.
