Dr. Brooke Molina (she/her) is Professor of Psychiatry, Psychology, Pediatrics, and Clinical and Translational Science and Director of the Youth and Family Research Program at the University of Pittsburgh. She is a licensed clinical psychologist in Pennsylvania. She has been conducting federally funded single- and multi-site research on the course, causes, outcomes, and treatments of ADHD and substance use/disorder amongst individuals with increased risk (esp. ADHD) and typical populations, throughout her career. This work has spanned several developmental windows, ranging from childhood to adulthood. Her greatest area of research concentration has been longitudinal studies of people with ADHD with an emphasis on understanding their multifactorial risk for harmful alcohol use and other substance use/disorders as well as long-term diagnostic and functioning outcomes. Dr. Molina has been federally funded to conduct this research by NIAAA, NIMH, and NIDA since 1995, with a focus on two well-known cohorts of adults followed since childhood (Pittsburgh ADHD Longitudinal Study; longitudinal follow-up of the children in the Multimodal Treatment of ADHD study). Other projects have focused on the neurocognitive mechanisms underlying psychopathology course and outcome, psychosocial and pharmacologic treatment for ADHD, and prevention of stimulant diversion by adolescents and young adults being treated for ADHD in primary care. She directs the Developmental Alcohol Research (T32) Training program for postdoctoral scholars (DART), she has served on multiple journal editorial boards and NIH review panels, and she will serve as President of the American Professional Society for ADHD and Related Disorders (APSARD) 2026-2027.
