Patricia Goodhines joined the Clinical Psychology faculty at University of Maine Orono in Fall of 2022. Patricia's health psychology research program focuses on the dynamic interplay of substance use and sleep across human development. Her primary interest areas include youth risk mechanisms and sociodemographic disparities, especially as affecting rural communities. Goodhines' lab utilizes intensive longitudinal designs, advanced statistical techniques, and ambulatory technology for measurement and modeling of health risk behaviors in daily life. Ultimately, these findings may inform targeted prevention and intervention efforts to curtail systemic inequities and benefit community health. Outside of work, she enjoy hiking, live music, and community volunteering.
