Dumka, Ph.D. primary research interests are in examining influences
on parenting behavior in low-income ethnically diverse families,
developing culturally equivalent measures to assess dimensions of
parent functioning, and designing culturally responsive family strengthening
interventions that enhance parenting efficacy and adolescents’
adjustment. Our team recently completed a pilot test of a new preventive
intervention called BRIDGES for families with adolescents making
the transition to middle school. |
