Naomi Andrews is an Associate Professor at Brock University in the Department of Child and Youth Studies. She holds a Ph.D. from the T. Denny Sanford School of Social and Family Dynamics at Arizona State University, where she completed her postdoctoral fellowship at Mothercraft's Breaking the Cycle program, focusing on the prevention and intervention of substance use issues in mothers. Her research primarily applies a relational perspective to understand children's and youth's social adjustment and problem behaviors, such as aggression and victimization. Dr. Andrews is particularly interested in how peer relationships and social contexts contribute to these behaviors, as well as gender identity's impact on youths' experiences and social functioning. Her work aims to develop community-based interventions that promote healthy relationships and decrease involvement in problem behaviors across school and social settings. Dr. Andrews has published extensively in various journals, addressing themes of trauma-informed relational approaches, social aggression, and the dynamics of peer interactions among youth.
