Dr. Andrews has invested over 20 years in developing, implementing, evaluating, and administering programs designed to prevent problem behavior in adolescents and young adults. He has administered longitudinal research studies funded by the National Institute of Mental Health and the National Institute of Drug Abuse focusing on the prevention of adolescent and young adult problem behavior. In 2000, Dr. Andrews founded the Center for Learning Excellence of the John Glenn Institute for Public Service and Public Policy at The Ohio State University. He currently serves as Director of this center, which is charged with supporting evidence-based prevention and intervention initiatives in Ohio. Dr. Andrews served on the National Positive Youth Development Research Advisory Board and is a regular consultant to local, state, and national policymakers on issues related to children and youth.
Dr. Andrews is leading the current OSU effort to build a model, world class early childhood center in the Weinland Park neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio. This is the first university initiative to partner with public schools and the city to establish an early childhood laboratory school in a low-income area. The center will provide state-of-the- art training for students, a facility for best practices, an environment for innovative research as well as resources for the community including family advocacy and a wellness suite for pediatric care.
Instrumental in the development of The Ohio State University's Service Learning Initiative, Dr. Andrews has helped develop numerous programs to enhance university/community relations. He recently chaired the Task Force on Preventing Celebratory Riots for The Ohio State University and the City of Columbus, and continues to provide leadership in implementing the Task Force's recommendations.
