Dr. Wilkerson's research interest centers on the investigation of online social work interventions and this interest have been spurred by the field of social work's grand challenge to harness technology for social good. His research addresses the gap in the development of technology designs that enable peer support to develop and contribute to the outcomes of online psychoeducation interventions. He has applied these interests in research with caregivers of behaviorally challenging adolescents and caregivers of persons with dementia.
