Research Interests
- My focus is on quantitative methods, specifically longitudinal data analysis and latent variable modeling. These advanced
quantitative techniques are applied to my research interests of risky health behaviors, particularly alcohol use among emerging
adults. My focus is on identifying individual predictors of risky behaviors as well as examining the efficacy and duration
of effects for interventions directed at reducing alcohol use and related consequences. Specifically, I am interested in
techniques to extend the duration and boost the efficacy of established effects.
