Journal of Child and Family Studies
Since 2006, Jie Weiss has served as a member of the Editorial Board and as an Associate Editor for the peer-reviewed “Journal of Child and Family Studies.” The Journal of Child and Family Studies is an international forum for topical issues pertaining to the mental well-being of children, adolescents, and their families.

Original papers detail basic and applied research, program evaluation, service delivery, and policy issues on emotional or behavioral disorders, child abuse and neglect, respite care, foster care, mental health care financing, homelessness, family stress, AIDS, and substance abuse, among other timely topics.

Program Evaluation
Several program evaluation projects are under way. One project is related to a Computerized Alcohol Screening and Intervention program (funded by the California Office of Traffic Safety) to address drunk driving. People with alcohol use problems are more likely to drive after drinking and have higher rates of illness, motor vehicle crash injury and other injuries than the general population. Other program evaluation projects include a pediatric obesity intervention program in Santa Ana, Personal Nutrition Planner funded Dairy Council of California, Follow the Leadership Program for Orange School District, Orange County.
