Luke T. Russell, PhD, CFLE-P, is an Assistant Professor of Human Development and Family Science in the Department of Family and Consumer Sciences at Illinois State University. His research investigates how individuals living in diverse family structures (single-parent, post-divorce, stepfamilies, cohabiting families) organize their relationships, engage in strategies that promote resilience, and maintain family-members’ health and well-being. He has also contributed as an evaluator and continuous quality improvement co-lead on federal, state, and institutionally funded projects to investigate how broader social institutions (e.g., health care systems, schools, and government agencies) can better function as supportive resources for structurally diverse families. A core component of his research agenda addresses how family, pediatric, and school-based nursing professionals can effectively serve pediatric patients with chronic conditions who split their time among two households and may receive support from a wide variety of family caregivers.
