PACEs and the Social Sciences

PACEs occur in societal, cultural and household contexts. Social science research and theory provide insight into these contexts for PACEs and how they might be altered to prevent adversity and promote resilience. We encourage social scientists of various disciplines to share and review research, identify mechanisms, build theories, identify gaps, and build bridges to practice and policy.

Measuring the Burden of Child Care Costs and its Impact on Health

County Health Rankings has posted a new resource.

The high cost of child care has forced many American families to make challenging choices between paying for their children’s care or other necessities such as food, safe housing and health care. On average, families with two children pay a quarter of their income toward child care, driving some out of the workforce altogether.  

To help communities better understand the burden, we’ve released a new measure, Child Care Cost Burden. It captures child care costs for a household with two children as a percent of median household income in the county.
