Description of Research Focus:

My research interests are in the area of young children’s development of health related behaviors. A current research project relates to the study of decision making of parents in the use of over the counter medications. Findings of this project will have implications to contribute to the study of how young children develop meaning and are socialized toward self-care. My focus is on the socialization of both illness and health behaviors and decision processes related to them.
