Dr. Duppong Hurley's recent research interests are on family support interventions for youth with emotional and behavioral conditions. She has led a randomized trial of the Boys Town's In-Home Family Service program and is actively working to further research on implementation quality and family outcomes for this intervention. She also led a randomized trial of the phone-based parent-to-parent intervention called Parent Connectors, which is listed as promising in the California Evidence Based Clearinghouse. She also uses secondary datasets and mixed-method research to explore the role of parental involvement in school and their child's mental health services on family outcomes, especially for children with emotional and behavioral conditions.
Dr. Duppong Hurley was a fellow at the inaugural NIMH-funded Implementation Research Institute and remains active in implementation science and dissemination issues. Over her career Dr. Duppong Hurley has researched many aspects of the continuum of care for youth with emotional and behavioral conditions, including examining how implementation quality related to outcomes for youth receiving residential care services.
