Resilience research, con la comunidad.
Community research on the resilience of youth and families exposed to violence — across Mexico, Puerto Rico, Honduras, and beyond. We use mixed methods so that both *voces* and data shape the work.
Protective factors
Familismo, parent–adolescent communication, and parental involvement that buffer the effects of violence.
Mixed methods
Surveys, interviews, and biomarkers - so lived experience and rigorous data inform each other.
Community-engaged
International, community-engaged studies across Honduras, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Nicaragua, and the U.S.
