Youth Risk and Opportunity Lab

Youth Risk
and
Opportunity Lab

The Youth Risk and Opportunity (YRO) Lab seeks to understand development and risks faced through adolescence and into young adulthood.

This began as a program focused specifically on self-injury behavior, but has since expanded to consider broader questions of youth health and wellbeing. The YRO Lab is currently running studies on self-injury and sexuality. All of their studies are motivated by translating what they and other scholars learn into materials that will be useful to practitioners and the community at large.
