Current Research Interests
My general area of interest is in the use of behavioral methodology to
prevent or treat community health problems due to accidents, disease or
life style. A more specific interest is in expanding the scope of interventions
through recruitment of community residents, both adults and children, to
serve as agents to promote change. Current or very recent work includes:
-
several projects to increase highway safety
-
projects concerned with promotion of fire safety in preschool children
and also inner-city residents
-
several projects promoting behaviors to protect or preserve the environment
-
a project with the environmental court to improve the code-enforcement
system
-
a project with the juvenile court to improve the foster-care system
-
work with the city school system to improve the sex education program
-
a project with the association of basketball officials to improve high
school officiating
