Mong an AGGRS Awardee

Doctoral candidate, Sherry Mong received a merit award from Ohio State called the Alumni Grant for Graduate Research and Scholarship (AGGRS). This award will help support her dissertation research on home healthcare. Sherry's research project is a qualitative study of the paid and unpaid labor processes in complex home healthcare (and the teaching and learning processes that surround them). Home healthcare provides a good alternative to hospitalization in terms of health outcomes for patients, but we know very little about the burdens and unmet needs of family caregivers. Sherry's research promises to help us better understand the process of home healthcare, with implications for the sociology of work, medical sociology, and policymaking. Kudos to Sherry!
