Gabriela Livas Stein's research identifies individual, familial, and cultural processes that promote positive development and mitigate risk among minoritized youth, with a focus on immigrant Latine populations. Her work is grounded in cultural models of child development and incorporates principles from developmental psychopathology to understand trajectories related to mental health and educational outcomes. Stein also employs community-engaged approaches to develop and test prevention intervention programs addressing the mental health needs of minoritized youth and families. She leads the CAMINOS lab, which focuses on basic science questions related to risk and resilience processes in marginalized communities and the impacts of racial-ethnic discrimination, acculturative stress, and economic hardship on youth and family outcomes. Additionally, her translational work emphasizes prevention programming for minoritized families, including interventions for racial-ethnic socialization and increasing mental health access in underserved communities.
