Howard studies well-being and health-related behaviours in adolescence and the transition to adulthood, with an emphasis on special challenges facing university students and young people with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. A fundamental assumption behind her work is that all young people have the capacity to thrive.
This has led her to question the validity of popular but negative stories about youth that appear in the media and are embraced by the public but aren鈥檛 clearly supported by empirical research (the 鈥渒ids these days鈥 fallacy). This includes myths about the pervasiveness of helicopter parenting, rampant mental illness, and harmful impacts of smartphones and social media.
