RESEARCH INTERESTS:

Adopting a developmental psychopathology perspective, my research examines the development of substance use behaviors, particularly in high-risk youth.  Emphases include the role of emotions and internalizing symptoms in the development and escalation of substance use; developmental pathways leading to substance involvement and disorder; and processes underlying risk and resilience in children of alcoholic parents.  This work incorporates the use of advanced statistical analyses and multi-method approaches, including experience sampling methods.  I am also beginning work on a preventive intervention program for young children living with an alcoholic parent and their families.
