Research Interests

Lisa is broadly interested in the effects of substance use on neurocognitive/everyday functioning and vice versa. She is particularly interested in how substance use and executive functioning promote risk-taking behaviors (e.g., sexual risk taking) and the subsequent real-world consequences (e.g., HIV).
