About
I am interested in adolescent mental health and well-being in the context of rapid sociocultural, economic, and political change. I have been conducting research in Samoa for the past several years, and I completed a large epidemiological study of depression, anxiety disorders, and substance abuse in urban adolescent school children in 2008. I am currently writing up the results of this study for publication.
I have also been conducting research on cultural conceptions of insomnia in the U.S., the wide range of treatment modalities used to manage sleep problems, and the criteria being used to gauge the effectiveness of these treatments. We are still conducting interviews for this project and data analysis is underway.
My doctoral dissertation research was entitled "Acquisition of Cultural Knowledge of Hierarchy by Samoan Children" and it focused on the processes of cultural learning in a rural Samoan village.
