A trio of UO faculty members are part of a group that just released a new report on anti-Black racism and inequity during adolescence.
The new publication from the National Scientific Council on Adolescence shares research on how racism can affect adolescent development and offers recommendations to support Black youth during their middle and high school years.
UO psychologist Jennifer Pfeifer is the co-director of the organization, which focuses on the health, education and well-being of adolescents through developmental science. She is joined on the council by the UO’s Leslie Leve, a professor of counseling psychology and associate director of the Institute of Prevention Science, and Nick Allen, a professor of clinical psychology.
