Gia Elise Barboza-Salerno

Dr. Barboza-Salerno’s research focuses on the manifestation of violence across the lifespan from childhood to old age. Their work explores the multiple contextual influences of risk, including trauma, externalizing behaviors and substance abuse, on manifestations of interpersonal violence (e.g., domestic abuse, adolescent bullying), self-harm (e.g., suicide), and neglect in vulnerable populations (children, adolescents, LGBT individuals and the elderly).
