Michelle M. Englund is a research associate and affiliate member of the Graduate Faculty in Child Psychology at the Institute of Child Development, University of Minnesota. Her research interests are in the areas of education and substance use. More specifically her work in the area of education examines how relationships (with parents, peers, and teachers) influence educational success across development, and her work on substance use behaviors examines the developmental predictors of patterns of substance use in adolescence and early adulthood and adult functioning resulting from the interplay between earlier development and substance use. Englund's research has been published in Child Development, Development and Psychopathology, Addiction, and the Journal of Educational Research. She is a co-investigator on the Minnesota Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children.
