OverviewAI-generated summary
Lorraine McKelvey's research focuses on child development, parenting, and the impact of socioeconomic factors like poverty on early childhood outcomes. She investigates adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and their relationship with healthcare utilization and long-term health. McKelvey has published work examining the complexity of child behavior and caregiver-child interactions, particularly within studies like the HEALthy Brain and Child Development (HBCD) Study, emphasizing rigorous and equitable approaches to recruitment and retention of diverse families.
Her work also addresses the effects of external factors on vulnerable families, including an analysis of home visiting services during the COVID-19 pandemic. McKelvey's research explores the interrelatedness of ACEs in infancy and toddlerhood, using latent class approaches to understand developmental outcomes. She has also contributed to the development and evidence base for screening tools for ACEs in early childhood, such as the Family Map Inventory.
McKelvey holds the designation of a high-impact researcher, evidenced by her h-index of 26 and over 2,000 citations across 112 publications. She collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Kanna Lewis, Leanne Whiteside-Mansell, Nicola A. Conners Edge, and Anthony Goudie.
