The Center for Population Studies (CPS) recently launched its Population Briefs series on eGrove, the university’s open access repository. Population Briefs are intended to develop data-driven awareness about issues facing Mississippi at the community, regional, and statewide levels. Through this series, CPS strives to inform the public about important topics and about the utility of publicly focused data and research.

Publications on eGrove include:
