Research Overview
Dr. Edwards is leading a 3-year study funded by the US Department of Education that is focusing on promoting behavioral health and decreasing the use of alcohol among secondary students through the implementation of a variety of prevention and intervention programs involving students, parents, teachers, and the community. The grant provides for licensed therapists in secondary schools, parent education programs, curriculum development including behavioral health and alcohol awareness, training and certification for area therapists in counseling for alcohol abuse, and a social marketing campaign about alcohol abuse among teens. At ACHRI, Dr. Edwards has also researched assessment and treatment of behavioral disorders in children since 1992.
