About Amy
Green's recent collaborative research initiatives include an examination of factors impacting the sustainment of evidence-based interventions in human services systems, using implementation science strategies to promote safer school environments and reduce suicidality for sexual and gender minority youth, facilitating utilization and scale-up of restorative justice practices in middle schools, and developing and testing mechanisms to implement strategies to create organization change and increase competence towards LGBTQ patients in Federally Qualified Health Centers. Overarching themes in Green's writings include youth risk and resilience, mental health services, LGBTQ youth, and positive youth development.

Provides empirical quantitative data regarding job attitudes and job autonomy perceptions over time following evidence-based treatment (EBT) implementation. Indicates that concerns regarding the impact of EBT implementation on provider job perceptions should be minimized.
