John Schulenberg

My research program focuses on psychosocial development during adolescence and young adulthood, with specific emphasis on the link between developmental transitions and health and well-being, on alcohol and other drug use, and on the conceptualization and analysis of developmental change. Topics of interest include the increase in health risks during adolescence, the description and explanation of trajectories of substance use during adolescence and young adulthood, discontinuities in functioning and adjustment during the transition to adulthood, the comorbidity of substance use and psychopathology during adolescence and adulthood, and the combination of different studies to maximize understanding of developmental change. I teach a graduate seminar on adolescent development and the transition to adulthood.
