He is the editor of the book series, Issues in Clinical Child Psychology, with Springer (formerly Plenum/Kluwer).

His research interests have been focused on general issues in clinical child and pediatric psychology, psychotherapeutic outcomes, program evaluation, and professional issues, including ethics and training. Previously Roberts' work has focused on prevention, especially injury control.

Specifically, current interests and activities on the research team include:

1. children's and parents' perceptions of pediatric and psychological conditions and treatments; treatment adherence issues;
2. program evaluation and mental health service delivery (psychotherapeutic outcomes);
3. positive psychology and children's development, especially hope and benefit finding;
4. consulting with the World Health Organization on the revision of the International Classification of Diseases-10 focusing on the chapter for mental and behavioural codes; conducting literature searches; designing and conducting formative research projects on the architecture, organization, and content of the ICD classification system (Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse, WHO).

Dr. Roberts has been president of the Society of Pediatric Psychology, the APA Section on Clinical Child Psychology, and chair of the APA Committee on Children, Youth, and Families and on the APA Board of Professional Affairs. He served two terms as chair of the Council of University Directors of Clinical Psychology and as the Society of Pediatric Psychology representative to the APA Council of Representatives. He is Chair of the APA Council of Editors. He has served on grant review panels, most recently on a study section for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Roberts chairs the Interdivisional Task Force for Children's Mental Health. Starting in 2011, he will be President-elect of the Society for Child and Family Policy and Practice (Division 37 of the APA).

Projects of Current Graduate Students

---

Children with Cancer and their Siblings Attending a Summer Camp: This project is a program evaluation of a summer camp for children with cancer and their siblings. In addition, we are examining how children's perceived social support, children's attitudes towards illness, the family environment, and children's and parent's posttraumatic stress symptoms relate to outcomes such as quality of life.

Benefit Finding:  The primary goal of this study is to determine whether children with leukemia and/or their parents perceive any positive outcomes (e.g., closer family relationships, different life priorities) following a diagnosis of childhood cancer and whether the perception of benefits is related to quality of life.  This study is being conducted in collaboration with several hospitals across the country.

AileyCamp Evaluation: This project is an annual program evaluation of AileyCamp, a six-week summer camp for at-risk youth from Kansas City public middle schools. The project assessed campers' exposure to community violence, stressful life events, risk behaviors, drug awareness, depression, family conflict, social support, emotional intelligence, psychological adjustment, and satisfaction with AileyCamp. Parents' experiences of social support, economic strain, parenting stress, and satisfaction with AileyCamp were also evaluated.
