A doctoral candidate in the UAB Department of Psychology will have her work featured in Progress Notes, the Society of Pediatric Psychology’s tri-annual newsletter. Aaron Davis, M.A., Chair of the Alabama Psychological Association of Graduate Students, is one of only four from across the country selected for this honor.

Davis, 25, is researching the effects of sleep restriction on adolescents’ pedestrian safety in UAB’s Youth Safety Lab. She is studying how adolescents ages 14 and 15 cross the street after an adequate night’s sleep (8.5 hours) and when they are sleep restricted (4 hours).
