My research applies a socioecological framework to examine psychosocial risk and protective factors shaping mental health, substance use, and related behavioral health outcomes among youth. Broadly, my work seeks to identify modifiable individual, interpersonal, and social processes that can be leveraged to improve behavioral health outcomes and reduce disparities among youth.
