Latin American Adolescent Development Study Group

The goal of this network is to exchange information with those who share an interest in studying adolescent development and family relations in Central and South America.  This project is in the initial stages, so at this point I am open to suggestions on the direction of this group (including the name of the group).  At first, I will simply list the names and contact information (with their consent) of those who share an interest in this area.  I would also like to include a bibliography of published work and works in progress in Central and South America.  I envision this being a resource to network with those who share an interest in studying adolescent development in Latin America.
