Luciana Assini-Meytin, PhD
Assistant Scientist
The impact of social and behavioral factors on individuals’ life course trajectories has been a primary focus of Dr. Assini-Meytin's research. Specifically, her research has been focused on the long-term consequences of adolescent parenthood and pathways to positive outcomes, including determinants of socioeconomic attainment among teen mothers and teen fathers in their adulthood. More recently, my work has been concentrated on the prevention of child sexual abuse and the long-term consequences of adverse childhood maltreatment for both, men and women. I am particularly interested in prevention science, life course research, and gender differences in mental health outcomes.
