KINHEALTH

Beyond the nuclear family: Extended kinship and mental health in Italy

Mission of the project

KinHealth is a project funded by the Ministry of University and Research (MUR) and the Next Generation EU with about 266k euro (PRIN 2022 PNRR). The project achieved the top ranking in the field of 'Population dynamics: households, family and fertility' (SH7_3). It is coordinated by Marco Tosi (P.I.) and involves scholars from the Universities of Padua, Florence (Valentina Tocchioni as vice- P.I.), and Bologna (Marco Albertini as associated P.I.). The project focuses on the analysis of the kinship network and its effects on individual health and wellbeing.
