Scholarly Interests:

My scholarship focuses on adolescent health (defined as ages 10-21) with a particular interest in health risk behaviors (substance abuse and high-risk alcohol consumption, violence, physical inactivity, intentional and unintentional injury, and sexual risk-taking), and subjective well-being (self-perceptions of life satisfaction, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Researching adolescent quality of life (QOL) is valuable in assessing youth holistically in health behavior assessment, program implementation, and evaluation efforts. Rather than focusing on youth deficiencies, my research attempts to highlight the positive assets in youth, which can then be incorporated into the design and evaluation of school-community prevention and intervention efforts.
