My research interests are in the area of developmental psychopathology. Our laboratory has ongoing studies on children at risk for psychopathology (owing to parental mental illness, maltreatment, prenatal substance exposure). The focus of this work is on the early years of life. Specific processes examined in these studies include relationship formation (especially infant attachment), children's temperament, organization of sleep and wake states, parental appraisals of goodness of fit with their children, and processing of emotion. Other active research includes effects of program evaluation activities on implementation of evidence-based practice (e.g., home visiting for at risk families) and development of children in Head Start settings. In addition to research in my own lab, I have many active collaborations in research areas of sleep and chronobiology, health disparities in pediatric asthma, and HIV prevention.
