Research interests: developmental disability issues, particularly pertaining to Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). I employ mixed methods or purely qualitative approaches to study various aspects of developmental disabilities. Presently, I am interested in three programs of research: (1) the professional training of care providers and their knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy working with individuals who have developmental disabilities/FASD; (2) family adaptation to childhood disability; and (3) social constructions of popular culture narratives regarding alcohol use during pregnancy and their implications for health promotion and FASD prevention
