Dr. Lee's research examines factors related to paternal risk for child maltreatment, and how fathers may influence maternal maltreatment risk, for example, via the incidence of interpersonal violence in the home. Recent work uses longitudinal data to explore the influence of acculturation on Hispanic fathers' and mothers' harsh parenting practices, and the effects of paternal and maternal corporal punishment on child well-being. Related studies investigate the association of community variables to maternal parenting behaviors and maltreatment risk.
