Dr. Beth Stormshak is a Knight Chair and Professor in the Counseling Psychology and Human Services department in the College of Education at the University of Oregon. Her research focuses on understanding risk factors in early and middle childhood associated with the development of problem behavior in late adolescence, including substance use and delinquency. Her research focus includes testing the efficacy of family-centered interventions, such as the Family Check-Up, that reduce the later risk of problem behavior. She also has developed an online version of the Family Check-Up for wide-scale dissemination.
