Dr. Fiese's research program focuses on family factors that promote health and well-being in children. She gains access to the family process through the study of family routines, rituals, and stories. With support from the National Institute of Health and various private foundations, she works with talented undergraduates, graduate students and colleagues across the country to identify family factors associated with academic achievement, identity, and mental health. Her current work focuses on family factors that promote medical adherence and well being in children with asthma.
