Lisa Armistead is a Distinguished University Professor at Georgia State University's College of Arts & Sciences, specializing in family psychology and maternal-child health in HIV contexts. She earned her Ph.D. from the University of Georgia in 1993. Her research examines how maternal HIV infection impacts child development and leverages family-based interventions for HIV prevention. She leads NIH-funded studies, including the TRACK program supporting HIV+ mothers in disclosing their status to children, with significant work among African American families and South African communities.
Her clinical practice focuses on cognitive-behavioral interventions for child/adolescent behavioral issues and adult mood disorders. Research identifies critical family processes like parenting skills, disclosure patterns, and social support as mediators between maternal health and child outcomes. She maintains an office at 1102 Urban Life, 200 Auburn Avenue.
Publications consistently explore HIV-related family dynamics, intervention efficacy, and cross-cultural adaptations. Recent work emphasizes maternal disclosure mechanisms, neighborhood influences on family functioning, and longitudinal outcomes in high-risk settings. No awards or advised students are documented.
