My research interests include the evaluation of theoretically-based health promotion programs. Currently, I am working on a project evaluating several sexual risk-reduction interventions for patients attending an STD clinic. I am also interested in child-related health issues; some of my recent work has focused on the relation between childhood sexual abuse and adult sexual behavior.
