Dr. Lieber is an Associate Research Psychology in the UCLA Department of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences. As co-director of the Fieldwork and Qualitative Data Research Laboratory, Center for Culture and Health, his work focuses primarily on the development and implementation of methods for qualitative and integrated (qualitative and quantitative) research. This work includes research design and strategies for data collection, management, analysis, interpretation, and presentation. He joined CHIPTS in 2006 as a methods core scientist and has become engaged in a variety of HIV and substance abuse prevention projects. Beyond his focus on methodological issues, Dr. Lieber has substantive interests in cultural issues related to parenting, social cognition, and early childhood development and, most recently, in the eco-cultural experiences of families with a child with Type 1 diabetes. He received his degree from University of Illinois in psychology and spent five years studying and working in Taiwan before coming to UCLA and continues working with his Taiwanese Hong Kong colleagues on a number of projects. Trained in qualitative and cultural research at an NIH training institute held in the summer of 1998, and at UCLA on the use of computer packages for qualitative data analysis, Dr. Lieber brings a broad background on methods and tools related to qualitative and integrated research to CHIPTS supported projects.
