Brief Introduction | Top

Dr. Jungup Lee is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Social Work at the National University of Singapore. Her research seeks to refine the understanding of how adverse childhood events relate to subsequent behavioural and mental health outcomes for children and adolescents. Specifically, Dr. Lee’s research focuses on identifying multi-level risk and protective factors (e.g., family, peer, school, and community levels) that shape various patterns of externalizing and internalizing behaviours to facilitate the development of more effective intervention strategies for social workers providing services to children, adolescents, and young adults. Her research interests include cyberbullying, school violence and safety, child maltreatment, online harassment, technology-facilitated sexual misconduct, juvenile justice, and youth mental health and digital well-being. Her research has been published in leading journals such as Computer in human behavior, School Mental Health, Journal of Interpersonal Violence, Youth Violence and Juvenile Justice, Journal of Medical Internet Research, Research on Social Work Practice, and Child Psychiatry and Human Development. She received her MSW from Ewha Womans University in South Korea and earned her Ph.D. in social work from Florida State University. Dr. Lee is the Co-Editor of Asia Pacific Journal of Social Work and Development and a Review Editor of Frontiers in Public Health (Injury Prevention and Control Specialty Section).
