A National Study of Artificial Intelligence in Children’s Lives Across Home, School, and Social Contexts: Mothers Assess Risks, Transparency, and Safeguards. Conducted in collaboration with researchers at the University of Chicago and University College London, including Dr. Dana Suskind and Dr. Kaitlyn Regehr, this nationally representative study pairs survey data with open-ended responses to capture mothers’ firsthand observations, concerns, and expectations as AI becomes increasingly embedded in children’s learning, play, and social interactions.

Pulse Check 2025, a nationally representative study of 2,700 U.S. mothers, examines children’s mental health needs, access to care, and family experiences navigating support systems. Conducted in partnership with Inseparable, the report centers mothers’ firsthand observations at home, in schools, and in healthcare settings to identify gaps in care and practical paths forward. Findings underscore the scale of unmet need, the central role of cost and insurance barriers, and the importance of school-based and family-centered solutions.

This report presents mothers’ views on early federal policy actions under the 2025 Administration, drawing on survey responses from 2,888 mothers across the United States collected between April and June 2025. Mothers rated their level of satisfaction and shared open-ended reflections based on lived experience. Findings reveal low overall approval, with economic pressures emerging as the dominant driver of dissatisfaction across political and regional lines.

This report analyzes responses from 6,073 mothers across all 50 states and the political spectrum to examine the real-world impact of health insurance on families’ access to care and financial security. Conducted in collaboration with News Not Noise following widespread public sharing of insurance-related hardships, the study documents the prevalence of administrative barriers, denied and delayed care, and resulting health harms—particularly among families with private insurance. Findings highlight systemic challenges in the current health insurance landscape and their consequences for family well-being.
