RESEARCH
I have two major lines of work that employ a diversity of methods:
-
Characterize the interplay among anxiety and stress-related psychopathology, social contexts, and emerging substance use problems, with a primary focus on social anxiety, alcohol, and cannabis.
-
Improve the conceptualization and measurement of substance use and related problems, with a primary focus on cannabis
I use diverse research designs as well as multimodal, multimethod assessments including:
-
Laboratory-based tasks such as mental imagery, the Trier Social Stress Test, and Cyberball
-
Interviews such as the Timeline Followback and Semistructured Clinical Interviews for DSM-5
-
Intensive longitudinal designs (e.g., daily diary and ecological momentary assessment)
While I have work spanning several stages of development, most of my research is centered on adolescents (12-17) and emerging adults (18-25).
