Below are selected research articles and presentations. We are excited to share what we have learned about risk and resilience for youth health!
Embedded Files
The SUN-E Lab brings together faculty, trainees, and community engaged research approaches to investigate critical issues at the intersection of substance use and neurocognitive development among youth. Our publications reflect a shared commitment to rigorous science, responsible research practices, and meaningful community engagement. We are especially proud to support the contributions of students and early-career researchers in every stage of the research process from data analysis to authorship.
