Allendorf's research focuses on family, gender, and health in India and Nepal. She investigates how and why family behaviors vary and change over time, as well as how family behaviors shape health. Current projects examine the rise of sonless families, the influence of developmental idealism on marriage and fertility, and fathers' gender ideology and involvement with children.
