Dr. Snow has extensive experience in the design and evaluation of preventive interventions in community settings (particularly in worksites and school systems) and in research aimed at identifying key risk and protective factors predictive of psychological symptoms, substance use, family violence, and other behavioral outcomes. His workplace intervention “Coping with Work and Family Stress” has been designated as a science-based program by the National Registry of Effective Prevention Programs (NREPP) and as a SAMHSA Model Program. In addition, Dr. Snow has special interests in the protective and stress-mediating effects of coping and social support, methodological and ethical issues in prevention research, service system development, and technical assistance and organizational consultation.
