Research summary
AI-generated

Mary Waldron's work spans behavioral and epidemiological research on substance use and family influences alongside pediatric clinical medicine. Studies examine how factors such as parental smoking and alcohol dependence, family disruption (divorce, parental death), and childhood experiences relate to later substance use, risky behaviors, and mental health outcomes. A separate line of clinical work addresses pediatric kidney disease and transplant care.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
