Research Description
My research focuses on helping parents support the resilience and health behaviors of children and adolescents with ADHD, including screen use, physical activity and sleep. My colleagues and I study how these behaviors affect long-term functioning and design programs to promote healthy behaviors in childhood. I am also interested in disseminating and training clinicians to deliver brief behavioral treatments, namely parent-focused interventions, in integrated care settings to improve healthcare access.
