Our research primarily focuses on mental health and well-being development and the roles of psychosocial and behavioral factors in these processes.
Dr. Chow’s research program is structured around three interrelated sub-themes: (1) longitudinal trajectories of mental health and well-being during challenging times and life transitions, (2) psychological, social, and behavioral determinants of mental-health and well-being, and (3) impact of mental health and well-being on proximal and distal outcomes. Her research contributes to the literature on the etiology and developmental pathways of mental health and emotional problems as well as their protective and risk factors.
