Research Interests |
| My primary research interests are concerned with childhood behavior problems, especially attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD; i.e., hyperactivity) and conduct disorder (CD). My current primary research focus in this regard deals with story comprehension among children with ADHD. For the past two decades Dr. Betty Lorch and I have had federally funded grants to explore the development of story comprehension abilities among children with ADHD.
A second focus of my current research concerns peer problems, especially teasing and peer victimization. Dr. Monica Kern and I have several studies in progress examining these issues. My third line of current research is on the predictors of long-term drug use. I am currently Administrative Director on the University’s NIDA funded Drug Prevention Center, and I am PI on a longitudinal project looking at the rick factors that lead to escalation in drug use among freshmen college student. Finally, I have been undertaking studies with Dr. Mark Fillmore examining the role of disinhibition among children and adults with ADHD, including alcohol challenge studies among the adult population. |
