Sandra Hofferth joined the University of Maryland faculty in fall 2001.

She was also Senior Research Associate at The Urban Institute. Professor Hofferth is a member of the NICHD Family and Child Well-Being Network. She has extensive experience collecting and analyzing time diary data about children, having directed the Child Development Supplement to the PSID. She uses major national databases (e.g., the PSID and SPD) to examine the interrelationship between changes in public policy, family resources and living arrangements, and their effects on children's health and cognitive and social development. She has a long-standing interest in the area of consequences of early childbearing. She is also examining entry into and exit from public assistance as a direct or indirect result of changes in welfare policy from the early 1990s to the present.
