Julia I Rudolph

Julia's research interests lie in examining the influence of parenting on child outcomes with particular focus on vulnerable and multi-stressed families. Specifically, her PhD and post-doctoral research projects have focused on rethinking the focus of child sexual abuse (CSA) prevention, highlighting the role that parents can play via the creation of safe environments and positive parenting. As well as continued qualitative and quantitative research in CSA prevention, Julia's current research project involves the development of the Parents as Protectors (PaP) CSA education module, to be piloted and evaluated with Parent Child Interaction Therapy delivered to parents at Griffith University. Collaborators to the PaP project include eminent global CSA experts and community organisations.
