Current 
Projects

 My current research projects are a study of acculturation and adaptation among Soviet and Vietnamese refugee adolescents and adults, and an evaluation of a school within a school for refugee and immigrant adolescents who have undergone serious educational disruption in their countries of origin because of war or political turmoil. On the more conceptual front, I am writing a book on collaboration between researchers and community settings and editing a book on ways of increasing the community impact of AIDS interventions.
