Selected Research & Dissemination Efforts

Our commitment to evidence-based practice is reflected in our team’s substantial contributions to peer-reviewed research and dissemination. We believe in not only implementing existing evidence-based practices but also in generating new knowledge through rigorous research and community presentation.
