Zuyi's research centers around the nature of and strategies to prevent child physical abuse in low- and middle-income countries. Particularly, she is interested in the development, evaluation, and dissemination of parenting interventions/parent training for families of children with developmental disabilities (e.g. Autism, ADHD, and Epilepsy). Her research at DSPI involves a systematic review on this topic and an evaluation of a parent training program for families of children with Autism in mainland China.
