Research Interests
Serena is interested in undersanding parenting outcomes and experience of parenting among women who had a first birth in adolescence as they transition into emerging and young adulthood. My research is focused on exploring outcomes and experiences among young women who participated in an early home visiting program clinical trial during their child’s first two years of life.
