Xing Zhang is an Assistant Professor in the College of Health Solutions. As a public policy demographer, her research focuses on the role of parent-child relationships in shaping young and early midlife adults' health and social inequality from adolescence to early midlife, and how this varies across race, ethnicity, gender, and socioeconomic status. She draws in multiple perspectives and quantitative methods from sociology, public policy, demography, and population health in her work. Her research has been funded by the National Institute on Aging, the National Science Foundation, the Spencer Foundation and the National Center for Institutional Diversity.
