Research Interest

For the past several years, scholarship in mental health and psychiatry increasingly has emphasized theory and research aimed at preventing mental disorders and developing interventions which promote resilience. My own work has focused on conducting controlled prevention and services trials with populations at risk for mental disorder. I have also devoted scholarly efforts to the resolution of key methodological dilemmas in the conduct of prevention research. Currently, I am working on several prevention trials, including studies of: the programmatic and cost effectiveness of intensive family support services for children whose parents have a severe m ental disorder, the impact of mutual help on the mental health and well-being of family caregivers and their children; and, the relationship between early childhood risk factors and adolescent behavioral problems.
