Research Abstract
Developmental psychopathology and therapies, with a focus on attention-deficit /hyperactivity disorders (ADHD) in children, adolescents, and adults. Ongoing research involves the use of electronic diary (PDA) methodologies to study social interactions, moods, cognitions, action patterns, and work productivity in everyday life. Additional research interests include stress and health in children and adolescents; the development of health-promoting versus health-risking behavior patterns; teen tobacco use and dependence; and how young people think, worry, and make decisions about their own health.
