Cristello's research focuses on online and offline social contexts that impact alcohol and drug use among adolescents. She is specifically interested in how posting about, and exposure to, social media depictions of substances can impact offline use. Cristello's writings discuss risk and protective factors for adolescent substance use, and identify key targets for prevention programming and early intervention.
