The Rogers Child Mental Health Lab is dedicated to providing applied research regarding child and youth mental health and how school and home intersect to influence children’s development. Our lab focuses on the well-being and relational health of children and adolescents with ADHD as well as investigates educational and learning-related factors and outcomes among this population.
Some current areas of interest within the lab are chronic school absenteeism in children and adolescents and factors (i.e., parent-teacher relationships, ADHD) that influence attendance, parental involvement in children’s learning/schooling in children and adolescents with ADHD, and the experiences of families (with and without children with ADHD) during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The clinical and educational nature of the research done at the Rogers Child Mental Health Labs allows for actual, practical implications. Our aim is to better understand the psychological functioning of children and youth and their families to provide more precise and beneficial assessments and interventions.
