RESEARCH
Healthy Families Laboratory
The research in our laboratory focuses on how families teach their children about how to be healthy and safe, and how families manage the health and safety of their children. We use behavioral and interview measures to study parent-child conversation about health and risk, and how parents and children understand what is risky to children and how to prevent injury and disease. By enrolling in Supervised Research or Individualized Instruction courses, students can gain research experience and earn research credits working with us on one or more ongoing research projects.
