| Additional Information | The Woodlawn Project in an on-going educational study of 1,242 people from the Woodlawn neighborhood of Chicago starting in 1966 when participants were in first grade. The Woodlawn Project partnered with the Chicago Board of Health, the University of Chicago, and Chicago public and parochial schools. The Student Woodlawn Area Project (SWAP) motto was Pergite Pergere, Latin for “Keep on Pushing”. The project aims to identify poverty and social issues affecting school-age children as a way to improve educational opportunities and health services in underserved communities, including the Woodlawn neighborhood. The study is ongoing and consists of six monitoring stages: first grade, teenage years, young adulthood, a mother's interview, mid-life, and an aging assessment. |
