Interests

Sabrina's current research interests focus on the transition to parenthood and early childhood development, with particular emphasis on coparenting at bedtime and nighttime parenting practices as they influence infant sleep regulation over time. She is also interested in the design, implementation, and evaluation of evidence-based psychosocial and educational programs that promote healthy family processes, child development, and wellbeing in disadvantaged contexts using human-centered design.

Sabrina thrives in opportunities to translate social science and health research for greater impact at the individual, family, and community level. She is also interested in capacity building and strategic partnerships across various sectors for monitoring and evaluating community-based and community-driven programs that are effective and sustainable, particularly in low income neighborhoods and countries.
