The Youth and Family
Research Program in the Department of Psychiatry at the University
of Pittsburgh is dedicated to understanding the course and treatment
of behavior problems, alcoholism, and drug addictions among youth
and young adults. This is a
university research program with projects led by Drs. Brooke Molina,
Oscar Bukstein, Michael Marshal, collaborating investigators from
other universities (e.g., William Pelham, Ph.D., Benjamin Lahey,
Ph.D., Betsy Hoza, Ph.D), project staff, and trainees (graduate
students, residents, and postdoctoral fellows).
Our research is funded by a number of federal
agencies, including the National Institute of Mental Health, the
National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, the National
Institute on Drug Abuse, the National Institute for Neurological
Disease and Stroke, the U.S. Department of Education, the Office of
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, as well as foundation
