Ph.D., Sociology, University of Michigan
Dr. Moore is a social psychologist who studies trends in child and family well-being, positive development, the determinants and consequences of early sexual activity and parenthood, fatherhood, the effects of family structure and social change on children, and the effects of public policies and poverty on children. Dr. Moore was a founding member of the Task Force on Effective Programs and Research at the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy, a member of the NICHD Advisory Council, and served as a member of the bipartisan federal Advisory on Welfare Indicators. In 1999, Dr. Moore was awarded the Foundation for Child Development's Centennial Award for her achievements on behalf of children. She also was designated the 2002 Society for Adolescent Medicine Visiting Scholar and received the 2005 American Sociological Association’s Distinguished Contribution Award from the Section on Children and Youth. Moore was executive director and then president of Child Trends from 1992 through 2006, when she chose to return to full-time research. Currently, Moore heads the Youth Development research area, where she is working to expand information on programs that work, implementation approaches that are effective, and approaches to evaluation, and to share knowledge with practitioners, funders, journalists, and policy makers.
