Please join The Department of Behavioral and Community Health for a Faculty Search Virtual Research Talk with Dr. Julia Felton on Tuesday, February 22, 2022 from 10:00 a.m. to 10:40 a.m. titled "Identifying Pathways to Risky Health Behaviors to Inform Targeted Intervention."
Dr. Julia Felton is a licensed child clinical psychologist and researcher focused on characterizing the development of maladaptive health behaviors and related physical and mental health problems across adolescence, as well as developing treatments to reduce and prevent risky health behaviors in youth and adults from traditionally underserved communities. Dr. Felton is also interested in understanding early family/neighborhood environments and parenting practices that place youth at higher rate for engaging in these risky behaviors. She has served as an investigator on a number of federally-funded trials aimed at improving access to evidence-based services among individuals from historically disadvantaged communities that often face significant barriers to accessing care.
