The Psychology Colloquium Series presents Dr. Andrea Chronis-Tuscano on “The Critical Role of Parents in the Outcome and Treatment of Childhood ADHD and Other Disorders” on Friday, April 15, at 11:50 a.m. in Porter 102.
Andrea Chronis-Tuscano
Chronis-Tuscano is a Professor of Psychology at the University of Maryland. She earned her Ph.D. from the State University New York at Buffalo in 2002.
Chronis-Tuscano’s research focuses broadly on understanding early predictors of developmental outcomes for children with Attention- Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and developing novel treatments which target these early risk and protective factors. Much of this research has addressed issues related to maternal parenting and psychopathology (namely, maternal depression and ADHD). A secondary line of research, conducted in collaboration with faculty in Human Development and Quantitative Methodology, aims to examine the trajectory of young children displaying early behavioral inhibition, including the development of psychopathology, and to intervene by targeting key moderators of outcome (e.g., parenting and social relationships). Chronis-Tuscano is the Associate Editor of the Journal of Clinical Child & Adolescent Psychology; Fellow of the Association for Psychological Science; Secretary/Treasurer of the International Society for Research in Child and Adolescent Psychopathology; Scientific Advisor to the NIMH Outreach Partnership with the State of Maryland; and a member of the CHADD Professional Advisory Board. She is the recipient of multiple NIH grants and has served on the NIMH Interventions Committee for Children and their Families.
