7 members of the Youth and Family Research Program - including students, staff, and YFRP Co-Director Dr. Sarah Pedersen - presented data from the ABLE, CREATE, PALS, PARIS, and START Smart studies at the University of Pittsburgh's largest-ever Department of Psychiatry Research Day. This day-long departmental event provides YFRP students and staff the opportunity to present results from their work at the YFRP and meet hundreds of other researchers (students, staff, and faculty) across the Department of Psychiatry. Congratulations on a great set of presentations!
