Since there are never enough hours in a day in the life of a policymaker, this Virtual Research Assistant can help save valuable time by compiling select websites containing research-based information relevant to child and family policy. The main topics these sites address are: Health, Education, Income and Work, Family, and Social Justice and Equity. The sites represent a wide spectrum of viewpoints and can be a useful starting place for desired research. All of the listed sites have been evaluated using the WebGuide Evaluation.
