Research Mission
The PERCH Lab is focused on understanding processes or risk and resilience to ultimately support individuals who encounter different kinds of adverse life experiences.
Our research evaluates the impact of adverse experiences across varied bioecological contexts on children’s mental and physical health outcomes, while exploring the biological mechanisms that underlie these associations and whether different factors (e.g., parenting, community resources) may protect against the negative effects of stress.
Current Projects
Healthy Families Study
We are looking for families with young children to participate in research to help us understand challenges families face and how community resources may affect child health.
