Inês Camacho

Inês Camacho serves as an Invited Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Human Sciences, University of Lisbon, and conducts research at the Research Centre for Psychological - Family and Social Wellbeing (CRC-W). With an h-index of 10 and 374 Scopus citations, her academic profile reflects significant contributions to adolescent and family psychology.

Her educational foundation includes a PhD from the University of Lisbon (2011), focusing on A influência da Família na saúde e nos comportamentos de risco nos adolescentes portugueses (Family influence on health and risk behaviors in Portuguese adolescents). This doctoral work established her research trajectory in developmental contexts.

Camacho's scholarly focus centers on Adolescence Psychology, examining critical intersections between Life Satisfaction, Risk Behavior, and Peer Group dynamics. Her fingerprint analysis reveals dominant engagement with Youth Social Sciences (70%) and Health Behavior (26%), demonstrating consistent investigation into how family systems scaffold adolescent development. Current work extends into Quality of Life metrics across generational relationships.

Recent publications (2024) form cohesive thematic clusters addressing developmental transitions: adolescence challenges, intergenerational bonds, and family restructuring. These works collectively explore protective factors against risk behaviors while emphasizing contextual influences on psychological well-being throughout the lifespan.

As an active CRC-W researcher, Camacho contributes to interdisciplinary projects examining family-social wellbeing interfaces, with particular attention to Portuguese adolescent populations navigating contemporary societal pressures.
