| Research Interests |
| I am primarily interested in understanding and treating addictive behaviors (e.g., college student alcohol use; methamphetamine, nicotine and marijuana abuse/dependence; eating disorders. Currently, I am working with an interdisciplinary community-based treatment and evaluation team on a family-based treatment for methamphetamine dependence. I collaborate with Drs. Martz and Bazzini on the social psychology of body image and college alcohol use. |
