BARBARA MORRONGIELLO

Barbara Morrongiello has achieved a national and international reputation for her unique and rigorous research on factors that affect children’s risk of unintentional injury. This research has provided a foundation of knowledge about the determinants of injury risk for children 2-12 years of age, including elaboration of how risk factors vary not only with child age but also for males versus females. Her commitment to translating these findings into programs that can serve to reduce the incidence and scope of childhood injuries in Canada is exemplary and has met with considerable success. Dr. Morrongiello is a Fellow of the American Psychological Association (Developmental Psychology Division).
