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.

Details a study that uses a cluster randomized controlled trial of 12 culturally-diverse U.S. middle schools to examine whether using restorative practices with a multi-faceted implementation strategy (a) reduces negative outcomes, including expulsions, suspensions, truancy, and bullying and (b) improves positive outcomes related to grade-point-average, sense of safety, and teacher support.
