Leslie A. Hulvershorn studies mental health in children and adolescents, with a focus on how brain activity relates to conditions like ADHD, disruptive behavior, and risk for substance use. Much of the work combines brain imaging (looking at how brain circuits respond during risky decision-making and reward) with family, trauma, and social risk factors, and also examines how to improve the delivery of youth behavioral health care in real-world settings such as primary care and the juvenile justice system.
Publication activity has been growing over the last decade, rising from around 8-11 papers per year in the late 2010s to 24 in 2024 and 32 in 2025.
