The Behavioral Risk Lab focuses on research designed to understand and prevent risk for substance use and abuse and associated negative consequences in young adults. These negative consequences include victimization (sexual, physical, verbal), risky sexual behavior, and polydrug use. Recent work in the lab has focused on the development of a preventive intervention to reduce college women’s risks for sexual revictimization. Other projects have assessed college student alcohol and drug use, use of drinking protective behavioral strategies, bystander intervention, and culturally specific risk factors and interventions. More information can be found in the current and recent projects section of this website.
