Jessica Ho is a demographer and sociologist whose expertise lies in the study of aging, health, and mortality. Some of her current projects focus on identifying how factors related to American culture, social institutions, and the organization of everyday life may explain why the U.S. has the lowest life expectancy of any high-income country and the consequences of the drug overdose epidemic for older adults, families, & intergenerational relationships.
