The BE-RAD Lab has moved!
WELCOME
Welcome to the BE-RAD lab website! Our research examines risk for affective disorders and behavior problems in children and adolescents, and how different environmental and biological conditions may increase this risk for some youth. We use a variety of methodological tools to investigate these questions, including hormone assaying, behavioral coding, and interview-based measures. Please explore our website to find out more about the team, current studies, and how to get involved!
