Linnea Linde-Krieger, PhD, LCSW, is a developmental psychologist and licensed clinical social worker with over a decade of applied and translational research experience with individuals and families affected by trauma and substance misuse. The overall goal of Dr. Linde-Krieger’s research program is to enhance the health and well-being of individuals and families from underserved communities through the identification and promotion of resilience factors. To achieve this goal, she collects multi-method, multi-informant, and multi-level data to elucidate modifiable mechanisms of risk and protection and their associations with biopsychosocial outcomes. In particular, Dr. Linde-Krieger examines how caregiver risk factors e.g. substance misuse, history of trauma) and caregiving features e.g. caregiver behavior, physiology) influence family processes and perpetuate or prevent negative intergenerational patterns e.g. cycles of substance misuse, family violence) Her published research has examined the effects of maternal stress on family functioning, caregiving behavior, and mother-child relationshiquality. Her ongoing research, which is funded by the National Institutes of Health and the Arizona Institute for Mental Health Research, identifies risk and protective factors for substance misuse during important transitional developmental periods e.g. adolescence, perinatal period) examines infant development and neuroendocrine regulation following prenatal substance exposure, and fosters recovery through implementation science and promotion of harm reduction practices.
