WamboldtF@njc.orgThe principal aim of Dr. Wamboldt's laboratory is the study of relationship development in normal, as well as highly stressed populations. Several sets of studies are currently in progress examining what specific family factors influence medical treatment adherence and outcome in children and adolescents with asthma. Dr. Wamboldt's laboratory is located within the Department of Medicine at the National Jewish Medical and Research Center, and is well equipped to obtain state-of-the-art relationship and family measurements including research interviewing and direct observation of marital and family interaction.
