Jennifer E. Lansford is a Research Professor at the Sanford School of Public Policy and Faculty Fellow of the Center for Child and Family Policy at Duke University. A developmental psychologist by training, Lansford leads an international study of parenting and child development in nine countries that is currently in its tenth annual year of data collection. Her research focuses on the development of aggression and other behavior problems in diverse cultural contexts, with an emphasis on how family and peer contexts contribute to or protect against these outcomes. She has consulted with UNICEF on standards for parenting programs in a number of countries.

Her research focuses on the social and structural forces that are among the most fundamental determinants of poor wellbeing among children. She was a Takemi Fellow in the Department of Global Health and Population at Harvard University, and has previously worked at the Global Fund to fight AIDS, TB and malaria and at the World Health Organization. Before WHO, she was based in South Africa leading research on community HIV prevention and has published in the fields of HIV prevention, reproductive health, health systems and financing.
