Working with this supervisor

Research in my lab focuses on child and adolescent health promotion in school and community settings. We take a social determinants of health approach to our work. Our current research primarily focuses on suicide prevention and healthy relationships promotion/teen dating violence prevention, and is typically conducted in full collaboration with community partners.
