Dorian Traube, Ph.D.

Dorian Traube, Ph.D., is an associate professor in the USC Suzanne Dworak Peck School of Social Work. She developed Parents as Teachers @ USC Telehealth, the first partnership of its kind between a national home visitation model and a university-based telehealth clinic. In doing this, she also established the first virtual home visitation program, offering an entire home visitation model with fidelity via video conferencing technology. This program was chosen as a Named Commitment by the Clinton Global Initiative and was selected as the winner of the Gary Community Investment/OpenIDEO Early Childhood Innovations Prize. This research laid the foundation to make virtual home visitation available nationally during the COVID-19 crisis. Dr. Traube's research agenda focuses on the utilization of technological solutions to provide early childhood health, education, and parent support services. She has expertise in children's mental health, child maltreatment prevention, family support interventions, and home visitation.
