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.
