Dr. Whiteside is mentored by Drs. Rebecca Cunningham and Maureen Walton on several on-going research projects. She examines the overlap of peer violence and dating violence in teenagers using Latent Class Analysis (LCA). This analysis will help impart an understanding in the differences in teens who engage in violence. The LCA is a novel way to approach this data, and will likely have implications for future prevention efforts. She is also interested in the intersection of dating violence among youth that present to the Emergency Department for a violent injury with alcohol, drug use and high-risk sexual behavior to better understand how these risk factors interact within this population.
Dr. Whiteside participated in the planning and implementation of a NIAAA funded grant entitled ‘Optimizing Brief Alcohol Intervention for Underage Drinkers in the ER’ which recruits patients ages 14-20 from the University of Michigan Emergency Department who screen for problem alcohol use. This intervention will help guide further ED-based alcohol interventions among vulnerable populations at risk for substance abuse disorders. Through this project, Dr. Whiteside will focus her research on violence and substance abuse in teens and young adults.
