Kenneth A. Dodge will focus on population mental health during his fellowship. Although psychological interventions have proven efficacious in improving outcomes for small numbers of individuals, rarely has psychological science “moved the needle” on population outcomes or reduced egregious group disparities in outcomes. Dodge will write a scholarly treatise of this nascent field, addressing promising policy interventions as well as research opportunities. He will also write a popular article on the challenges parents face in the first several years of life. Families with young children in the United States are left on their own, without paid family leave or community institutional supports. As a solution, Dodge will describe a system of primary psychosocial care for families of young children.
Dodge’s research career has been devoted to addressing the broad question: How can we prevent children from growing up to become violent? He has developed a model of social information processing that articulates the real-time mental processes leading to violent behaviors, and has applied this model to an intervention for young high-risk children called Fast Track that has proven modestly effective in preventing young-adult incarceration. In realizing the developmental origins of children’s chronic aggressive behavior, Dodge has created and tested an early-life intervention to prevent child abuse called Family Connects. Dodge was a fellow at CASBS in 1989-90 and 1995-96.
