The Child and Adolescent Health Lab is affiliated with the Centre for Applied Developmental Psychology (CADP) at The University of Edinburgh, Department of Clinical and Health Psychology.

Research in the lab takes an applied bio-psycho-social approach to understanding risk and protective factors associated with children and young people’s health and development.

We focus primarily, but not exclusively, on the intersection of parenting, child and adolescent health, and safety. Our overall goal is to produce evidenced-based interventions, programmes and policies to promote physical and mental health in children and adolescents.
