Brief Biography & Headshot
- Title and Affiliation
Andrea Hussong, PhD - Professor of Psychology, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill - Brief Bio
Andrea is a licensed clinical psychologist and developmental scientist with over 30 years of research in promoting health and well-being in children, youth, and families. Before joining the faculty at the Department of Psychology at the University of North Carolina in 1997, she obtained a BA in psychology from Indiana University and a doctorate in clinical psychology from Arizona State University. She then completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Center for Developmental Science at UNC-CH - where she would return to serve as director from 2011-2018. Her research focuses on developmental pathways to substance use and disorder, particularly for children of drug-involved parents. Through this work, she has collaborated with quantitative methodologists to apply innovative methods for longitudinal data analysis and co-develop integrative data analysis. More recently, her research focuses on positive youth development and resilience, including how parents foster gratitude in children. This focus allows her to engage in translational science, using developmental science, design-based and community engaged methods, and digital tools to create programs that support youth in the transition to young adulthood and families in coping with the challenges of parental drug addiction.
