Her work carried out in the field of Psychological intervention brings together such families of science as Conditional cash transfer, Environmental health, Intervention, Randomized controlled trial and Health promotion.
The various areas that Lia C. H. Fernald examines in her Environmental health study include Child Nutrition Sciences, Poverty and Cohort study.
Her Gerontology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Overweight, Obesity and Public health.
While the research belongs to areas of Socioeconomic status, Lia C. H. Fernald spends her time largely on the problem of Cross-sectional study, intersecting her research to questions surrounding Double burden, Epidemiology and Anthropometry.
Her most cited work include:
- Early childhood development coming of age: science through the life course (670 citations)

Lia C. H. Fernald mainly focuses on Child development, Demography, Environmental health, Psychological intervention and Early childhood.
Her Child development study combines topics in areas such as Cognitive development, Randomized controlled trial, Pediatrics and Family medicine.
Her study in Demography is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Gerontology, Overweight, Standard score, Poverty and Socioeconomic status.
Her Poverty research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Mental health and Development economics.
Her work in Environmental health is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Public health.
Her Psychological intervention research includes elements of Cash transfers, Economic growth and Health promotion.

In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:
Her primary scientific interests are in Child development, Early childhood, Developmental psychology, Environmental health and Randomized controlled trial.
Lia C. H. Fernald interconnects Cognitive development, Cognition, Language development, Family medicine and Vocabulary development in the investigation of issues within Child development.
Her work deals with themes such as Logistic regression, Curriculum, Psychosocial, Demography and Socioemotional selectivity theory, which intersect with Early childhood.
Her studies in Developmental psychology integrate themes in fields like Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test, Socioeconomic status and Odds.
Her Environmental health research incorporates themes from Cross-sectional study, Poverty, Public health and Community health workers.
Lia C. H. Fernald usually deals with Randomized controlled trial and limits it to topics linked to Parent training and Treatment and control groups, Early childhood education and Gerontology.
