Margaret Kuklinski’s research and intervention efforts are at the intersection of prevention science and health economics. Her work aims to promote positive developmental outcomes by demonstrating the long-term impact of effective community-based and family-focused intervention, identifying the level of investment needed to improve health and wellbeing through effective intervention, and building policy support for preventive interventions by demonstrating their benefits and costs.

In addition to a PhD in  Education and Psychology, Dr. Epstein holds an MA in Developmental Psychology from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
