My work focuses on translating basic research on the individual and contextual factors that predict high risk behavior into prevention programming. I focus on African American youth and emerging adults in rural areas. At present, drug abuse, HIV and other imminent threats to rural African Americans which escalate during the transition to adulthood. I am currently conducting basic research into correlates of protective sexual behavior and intend to develop a program for emerging adults who are not in school. A concurrent interest involves recruiting and retaining hard to reach populations into research studies and prevention programs.
