High Risk Infants and Families
The School of Nursing faculty conducts
programs of research that promote the
optimal
development of the preterm and other high-risk
infants and children based on a model
of
resilience. This interest area focuses
on the interdisciplinary investigation
of the
care-giving environment, nursing care and
behavioral and developmental outcomes
of
at-risk children. Of particular interest
is the study of the relationships among
the biobehavioral indicators and outcomes,
and the design and testing of environmental
and care-giving interventions.
