My research focuses on the role of family stress in disrupting parenting processes and child psychosocial adjustment, as well as on parenting interventions. I utilize longitudinal research designs to examine family stressors such as HIV status of parents, divorce, and interparental conflict. Based on findings from these projects, I also am interested in developing and evaluating prevention/ intervention programs for parents and children in these families. I currently am involved in a multi-site project to teach parenting skills and effective ways to communicate about health and risky sexual lifestyles to parents of pre-adolescent children.
