Biography
Andrea Howard Assistant Professor Degrees: Ph.D. (Alberta)
Research Interest
My research primarily examines mental health (depression, anxiety) and substance use (alcohol, marijuana, tobacco, and other drugs) in adolescence and the transition to adulthood. Current studies with collaborators include: (1) evaluating the developmental course of substance use from late childhood to the mid-twenties, comparing people with and without childhood histories of ADHD; (2) the intersection of self-control, mental health, and alcohol use in undergraduate students; (3) contexts that predict well-being in the transition to university. I am also engaged in a parallel line of research examining quantitative methodology issues in developmental and clinical research. Recent projects include methods for combining data from multiple reporters and comparisons of methods for estimating intraindividual variability in longitudinal analysis.
