Guang Guo's primary interest is in a research program that bridges the social science perspective (which emphasizes social context) and the genetic perspective (which emphasizes genetic influences). Guo is interested in and has published on the topic of (1) the interactions between genetic influences and social context such as peers, families, neighborhoods, and schools with respect to demographic and other social/health behaviors; (2) estimating the influences of social/environmental factors controlling for genetic factors; and (3) methodologies that use twin/sibling data and that use DNA data.
