Patricia Kohl, PhD

Dr. Patricia Kohl’s scholarship is focused on strengthening, implementing and sustaining evidence-based interventions that improve the quality of care for vulnerable families. Through her research, which is informed by years of clinical practice with children and families, she seeks to close the gap between research and community-based practice. She is collaborating with Dr. Lora Iannotti, Associate Professor and Associate Dean for Public Health, to develop a parenting intervention in Haiti that addresses nutrition, child development, and water, sanitation and hygiene.
