Understanding the role of nutrition in alcohol-related reproductive and perinatal birth outcomes. I am also interested in developing targeted brief interventions for pregnant women around alcohol use and nutrition during pregnancy. Other interests include understanding the relationship between substance use and sexual risk behaviors and the impact of health services and other influences on problem drinking over time.Education
