Cultural Responsiveness
Cultural responsiveness encompasses the ability to effectively utilize cultural awareness, knowledge, and skills in practice. My research has examined culturally responsive practices and other sociocultural school-based factors that impact mental health and well-being in educational settings.

Black Teen Mental Health Help-Seeking
Black youth have eminent mental health needs, including increasing rates of suicide, but are less likely to utilize mental health services due to various individual, systemic, and societal barriers. My research examines the individual and systemic barriers and facilitators of mental health help-seeking and service utilization for Black adolescents experiencing internalizing symptoms.

Measure Development and Validation to Enhance Cultural Responsiveness
Culturally responsive assessment tools and procedures are necessary for enhancing research and practice for minoritized populations, including Black youth and their families. I worked collaboratively with my previous advisor at LSU to develop and validate a parent measure of culturally responsive practices in schools from the parents’ perspectives. Also, I am currently leading measure validation analyses of mental health screeners, mental health help-seeking barriers and facilitator measures with Black youth.
