Culture, Health, and Implementation Research in Prevention (CHIRP) Lab
Housed in the Psychology Department at Arizona State University and led by Dr. Gonzales, the CHIRP lab investigates how culture impacts children's development, psychological health, and resilience from birth to young adulthood. It focuses on developing and implementing culturally informed interventions, defining culture via intersecting dimensions like ethnicity, social class, and community context.
