Biography
Adrian is a clinical psychologist with expertise in the development, prevention and treatment of youth substance abuse and related problems. His primary interest is in how family interactions and emotional climate contribute to and protect young people from alcohol and drug-related harm. Adrian is also examining how the characteristics of communities, schools and families interact to predict substance use experimentation. Adrian has received approximately $2 million in first or sole authored nationally competitive research grants, including several Australian Research Council (ARC) Discovery Projects, National Health & Medical Research Council (NHMRC) Projects, and NHMRC Fellowship funding (Career Development Award). His ARC funded research programs highlight key windows of risk for the development of substance use, and the role of parents and family environments in protecting children through high-risk transitions.
