Description of Research Expertise
I am a clinical psychologist with research interests in the clinical presentation of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in girls and ethnic minority populations; the application of help-seeking behavior models in the study of health disparities among ethnic minority children and families; and the development of strategies for addressing mental health services disparities in the inner city.I have received financial support from the National Institutes of Health to study clinical characteristics of ADHD among low-income Latino children and to assess the validity of strategies for assessing ADHD in children. During the past 10 years, with support from federal agencies and private foundations, I have started school-based mental health clinics to address services disparities in under-served communities and to train future mental health professionals. More recently, I proposed a theoretical model to study factors responsible for services disparities among low income and ethnic minority populations.
