and violence and their influence on many facets of child
development and well-being.
* One ongoing research project, funded by the National
Institutes of Health, examines the relationship between
different levels of marital conflict and violence and their
relationship with children's cognitive, academic, emotional
and social development.
* The second research project, funded by the Alabama
Extension Services and the National Science foundation,
focuses on investigating the role that family stress plays
in children's sleep patterns and immune system functioning.
