Business Spotlight - Child Development and Research Unit


The University of Guelph’s CDRU is a research laboratory that studies critical developmental issues related to child health; especially safety and injury prevention, which arise from infancy to about 12 years of age. As the director of the CDRU, Dr. Morrongiello has become a top contributor to the field of Developmental Psychology by designing innovative research and intervention projects that have been shown to improve safety knowledge, and reduce unintentional injuries for children. The CDRU comprises students of all levels: PhD; Masters; Undergraduate thesis students, interns, and volunteers; as well as several full-time staff members.
There are many ways that the research projects of the CDRU can address key factors about current safety issues. Studies may involve phone surveys, mail questionnaires, in-person visits to our lab on campus, or lab members visiting the homes of our research participants. Some studies focus on children, others on parents, and some involve the entire family. If you would like to be involved in our research please give us a call at (519)-767-5033 or visit our website at http://cdru.psychology.uoguelph.ca/cdru.
