Mental health outcomes associated with trajectories of immuno-endocrine markers over time in adolescent girls

Description 
This project involves examining trajectories of salivary immune markers and hormones from 3-4 waves of a longitudinal cohort of adolescent girls in Oregon, USA. The study could examine within-subject change using multilevel modelling, as well as individual differences between-subjects in biomarkers, and how they are associated with the onset of internalizing psychopathology.
