Dr. Park’s research focuses on the reciprocal influences between person and environment on substance use and related risky behaviors within developmental contexts. Her research has involved characterization of the longitudinal person-environment interplay on alcohol misuse across emerging and young adulthood. Her current research program incorporates externalizing behaviors in childhood and adolescence. Dr. Park is also interested in advanced statistical techniques that account for the multi-level and time-varying nature of human development (e.g., structural equation model, multilevel model, latent mixture model).
