Research

Serena’s research focuses on the factors that may exacerbate or improve adolescents’ sleep, the relationship between sleep and mental health, and the potential of school-based interventions to improve not only teenagers´ sleep health but also their mental wellbeing. She is particularly interested in the link between technology use and sleep and how peers and parents may affect both behaviors. In her research, she has used survey studies (including longitudinal, social network analyses), experimental studies, and qualitative/mixed-method studies.
