Biography
Biographical Summary
Dr. Sieving’s research focuses on the application of a positive youth development paradigm to the design, implementation and evaluation of clinic and community based interventions focused on preventing multiple health risk behaviors during adolescence. She has recently served as principal investigator on three substantial programs of community Âengaged intervention research: a randomized trial of a clinic linked intervention focused on reducing risky sexual behaviors, violence involvement, and school failure among adolescent girls at high risk for early pregnancy; formative research and pilot testing of a culturally relevant teen parent program to promote positive development and prevent risky sexual behaviors among Latino youth; and a school based youth development intervention focused on preventing violence involvement and promoting school success among middle school students from resource-poor urban neighborhoods.
