Sarah E. Patterson, PhD

I am a Family Demographer and Sociologist with an interest in families, aging, and caregiving. 

I am currently a Research Investigator at the University of Michigan’s Survey Research Center (SRC) located at the Institute for Social Research (ISR). My work is currently funded by a National Institute on Aging K99/R00 grant entitled "Caregiving, Complex Family and Kinship Ties, and Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD)." 

I am also an affiliate at the Michigan Center on the Demography of Aging (MiCDA), the Population Studies Center (PSC), and a member of the Crossnational Aging Research Lab (CARL). I received my dual degree PhD in Demography and Sociology from the Pennsylvania State University in 2017.
