Description:
The RACC Lab conducts research on how different processes of risk and protection support or undermine the identity development, adaptation, and health outcomes of youth and families from adversity-exposed, ethnic-racial minority, and immigrant backgrounds. A primary focus of our RACC lab is to understand what cultural and contextual processes strengthen pathways to typical and atypical patterns of development.
