Her scholarly research encompasses four main areas thus far: 1. Exploring and analyzing the type and extent of specific factors impacting the adoption and implementation of evidence-based practices in mental health settings serving youths; 2. Understanding the complexities of innovation adoption and implementation of evidence-based practice in mental health settings serving youths, 3. Building on this understanding to develop evidence-based interventions that will be widely adopted and implemented in outpatient mental health services serving high-risk youths, and 4. Improve adoption and implementation by teaching evidence-based practices in innovative ways, including face-to-face, online, and hybrid education, to teach the importance of evidence-based practice to social work students, thus improving mental health services for at-risk adolescents.
