Research Interests

Dr. Barnet is Director of the Department's Primary Care Research Fellowship. Her research focuses on improving outcomes for pregnant and parenting teenagers through clinical, school and community-based intervention trials. One of her current studies is a randomized trial of home and community-based care management aimed at improving parenting, reducing repeat pregnancy and promoting school continuation for parenting teens. Trained lay care managers provide services from pregnancy through two years postpartum that include longitudinal depression and other risk assessment, parenting education, support and coordination with primary care.
