Research Expertise:
Applied Behavior Analysis | Substance Use Disorders | Addiction & the Family
I study the use of behavior analysis principles in treating Substance Use Disorders (SUDs) to find ways to encourage their use in treatment programs, and to help family members influence a loved one with a SUD. I also research technology- assisted tools to administer efficacious treatments. Recent grant work includes a NIH Center developing tools to assist parents of youth with SUDs and developing training for parents to help opiate-addicted youth leaving residential treatment.
