Program of Research
Broadly speaking, my program of research examines four overlapping and intersecting areas of inquiry:
(1) The assessment, phenomenology, and course of child anxiety disorders; (2) the development and
evaluation of evidence-based treatments for childhood psychopathology, with particular focus on the
development of innovative methods to reduce systematic barriers to effective mental health care in the
community; (3) the psychological impact of disasters and terrorism on youth; and (4) national patterns
and trends in the utilization of mental health services and quality of care. Guided by a developmental
psychopathology perspective, in which the study of normal and abnormal populations serve to mutually
inform one another, my research laboratory—the Mental Health Interventions and Technology (MINT)
Program—examines the complex interplay between psychological and socio-contextual aspects of
disorders, and conducts interdisciplinary clinical research devoted to expanding the quality, scope, and
accessibility of mental health care. To this end, this work investigates disordered, high-risk, and
community populations, embracing a diversity of inquiry methods, ranging from randomized clinical
experiments and quasi-experimental designs to nationally-representative epidemiological surveys,
longitudinal designs, meta-analyses, and single-case designs.
