Kids Development & Stress Lab
Supporting family-wide mental health through innovative research, treatment, and training
Research AreasThe KiDS Lab is located at the University of Rhode Island. Our research explores mechanisms through which families influence child adaptive and maladaptive development with the goal of optimizing intervention and prevention outcomes. We are particularly interested in understanding how enhancing family well-being or youth sleep health alters stress-related physiological systems among at-risk youth and potentially ameliorates the biological embedding of stress and adversity. The goal of this research is to develop biological-informed, personalized approaches for risk identification and prevention or intervention.
