Mission and Vision
The 3E Study seeks to generate research to improve health and wellbeing for marginalized emerging adults and promote health, educational, and economic equity. By taking a social justice lens, engaging young people in the research process, and working across disciplines, we hope to support emerging adults within and beyond college as they build healthy lives.
