The Psychology Colloquium Series presents Dr. Steve Lee on “Outcomes of ADHD Youth: From Prediction to Explanation” on Friday, April 6, at 11:50 a.m. in Porter 102.
Dr. Steve Lee
Lee is a professor of Clinical Psychology in the Department of Psychology at UCLA. He is also head of the UCLA ADHD and Development Lab.
Lee’s faculty page mentions that his research uses the principles/methods of developmental psychopathology to understand the etiology of ADHD and disruptive behavior disorders, particularly within the context of longitudinal designs. This work has three principle components: (1) Testing gene-environment correlations and interactions for child conduct problems and negative maternal parenting behavior; (2) Identifying predictors of persistence and desistance of child conduct problems, exploring sex differences in antisocial behavior, and developing clinically significant measures of child outcome; and (3) Using translational research strategies to identify strong phenotypes that are impaired across multiple forms of psychopathology.
