Our lab conducts research focused on developing and evaluating preventive and clinical interventions in the areas of youth mental health and substance use. Our goal is to develop better targeted and tailored programming to address the unique needs of diverse youth and families. Many of our projects involve the development and evaluation of mobile health (mHealth) tools that either serve as standalone interventions or augment face-to-face programming. We conduct community-based research in collaboration with a variety of partners, including school districts, hospitals, community mental health centers, and juvenile diversion agencies.
