Patrick O’Neill is a doctoral student in Human Development and Family Studies, a research fellow with the Research Translation Platform, and a PAMT predoctoral fellow. He is interested in how to prevent childhood adversities through the integration of related research into policymaking activities at both the state and federal levels. Increasing the use of research evidence by policymakers has implications for the frequency of evidence-based policies and availability of prevention/intervention programs for adverse-affected children and families. His PAMT mentors are Max Crowley, director of the Edna Bennett Pierce Prevention Research Center and the Evidence-to-Impact Collaborative, and professor of human development and family studies and public policy at Penn State; and Damon Jones, research professor of health and human development with the Edna Bennett Pierce Prevention Research Center at Penn State.
Patrick received his M.A. in Psychology from Teachers College, Columbia University and his B.A. in Psychology with honors from the University of New Haven.
