This Project Grant award, with a total funding amount of $227,676, was provided by the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) under CFDA Program 93.307 - Minority Health and Health Disparities Research. The award aims to investigate the relationship between emerging work arrangements (EW) and health, well-being, and health disparities among working-aged adults in California.
The key products and services to be delivered through this project include: 1) Identifying latent classes of EW among workers, 2) Characterizing EW based on worker demographics, health, and well-being, and 3) Examining workers' lived experiences of participating in EW relative to health and well-being. The project will utilize a multi-method approach, including analysis of the California Work and Health Survey and qualitative research, to provide a comprehensive understanding of the objective and subjective factors influencing health and well-being in EW. This research is expected to offer insights into the relationship between EW and potential health disparities, ultimately supporting efforts to improve population health in the United States.
