Ané M. Maríñez-Lora is a Research Assistant Professor at the University of Chicago Crown Family School of Social Work, Policy, and Practice. She received a PhD in School Psychology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and completed a clinical psychology post-doctoral fellowship at Harvard Medical School/Children’s Hospital Boston. Her clinical and research interests focus on cultural adaptation of evidence-based interventions, clinicians’ use of evidence-based practices, and behavioral parent training with ethnic-racial minorities. She is developing a program of research that studies the cultural and clinical adaptation of evidence-based treatments for Latinx and immigrant populations. Her recent work seeks to advance the science of adaptation of interventions with a focus on adaptations of parent training programs with Latinx immigrant children and families. Maríñez-Lora’s work is motivated by an overarching goal of addressing mental health disparities by informing the transportability and dissemination of evidence-based practices to real world settings such as community-based agencies and schools.
