Foundation Professor and Graduate Director of Epidemiology
Clements-Nolle, Kristen

Summary

Kristen Clements-Nolle's research focuses on social and psychological factors that contribute to and mitigate poor health outcomes across the lifespan. Much of her current research focuses on understanding the impact of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) on a range of adolescent health outcomes. Grounded in positive youth development, she also investigates whether internal resilience and positive childhood experiences (PCEs) can buffer the impact of ACEs on behavioral health outcomes.
