April 4, 2019 (12-1 p.m.)

Dr. Bouris focses on understanding the relationship between social context and adolescent health, with a particular emphasis on how parents and families can help prevent HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and unplanned pregnancies among marginalized youth aged 10-24 years old. Her goal is to develop effective interventions that capitalize on the strengths of families and other supportive persons in the lives of young people.
