research overview
- Dr. Hill directs the Prevention Science Program at the University of Colorado Boulder. The Program includes The Center for the Study and Prevention of Violence, Blueprints for Healthy Youth Development, and the Center for Resilience and Well-Being. Over the last thirty years he has focused on two key questions: What are optimal family, peer, school and community environments that encourage healthy youth and adult development? How do we work with communities to make this happen? In addition, he has focused on developing and testing interventions to shape these outcomes, and on working with communities to improve youth development and to break intergenerational cycles of problem behavior. Finally, he works with local, state, national and international groups to implement programs with strong evidence that improve youth development.
