Katina
Lambros received her Ph.D. in School Psychology at the University
of California, Riverside. She also completed a post doctoral
fellowship at the University of New Mexico, working on a grant
funded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and
the Association of Child, Youth and Families (ACYF), which utilized
an early detection model to identify young children at-risk
for emotional and behavioral disorders and a classroom-wide
primary prevention approach to develop adaptive social behaviors
for Head Start preschoolers.
Current CASRC projects/grants: Dr. Lambros
is currently involved in Cognitive
Consensus in Cross-Cultural Competence [a.k.a. TeamWork
in Services for Teens (TWIST)], a five year research study that
has been funded by the National Institute of Mental Health to
better understand how to provide culturally competent mental
health services to diverse youth.
In addition, she also oversees the Safe
School Healthy Students (SSHS) initiative, which aims to
build a comprehensive strategy for child and adolescent mental
health in the San Diego Unified School District and is funded
by the Departments of Education, Health & Human Services,
and Justice.
Research Interests: Her current research
interests focus upon the provision of developmentally appropriate
mental health prevention/intervention to young, at-risk children
and their families. Dr. Lambros holds a special interest in
inter-sector service coordination, with a focus on services
in schools. In addition, she studies best practices in screening
and assessment of high incidence disabilities (developmental
delay (DD), learning disabilities (LD), attention deficit hyperactivity
disorder (ADHD), and emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD)
in young children as well as school-aged populations.
