Alice Frye, MPH, Ph.D.
Research Scientist
Alice Frye has an MPH from the University of Michigan and a Ph.D. in
clinical psychology from Emory University. She is a developmental
psychopathologist by training and her overarching goal is to combine in
her research endeavors the population level orientation typical of
public health with the robust theoretical approach that characterizes
developmental psychopathology. She has a long standing interest in the
study and remediation of psychopathology among adolescents at risk, and
focuses particularly on stress, coping and family transactions as risk
and protective factors that influence adolescent emotional and
cognitive development. With respect to specific projects, Dr. Frye has
been working with schools in the Boston area to better understand the
structure of coping among African American adolescents, and has also
been collaborating with Pamela Alexander to develop and test a pilot
intervention to reduce the risk for domestic violence among teenaged
mothers. She is working with Dr. Lorraine Cordeiro to undertake a needs
assessment of Cambodian youth and emerging adults in Lowell,
Massachusetts. In addition to this Dr. Frye is also developing projects
that will include an international focus on risk and protective factors
on adolescents and emerging adults. Dr. Frye speaks Indonesian and is
currently studying Mandarin Chinese.
Dr. Frye is a methodologist at the centers and works with Dr. Allison Tracy as a methodologist on funded projects and also to provide ad hoc
support for study design and statistical analysis to other researchers
at the centers. She focuses chiefly on quantitative methods, including
structural equation approaches, latent growth modeling, mixture
modeling, and other types of advanced analyses.
