research
My substantive research focuses on understanding the range of socioeconomic, social context, and public policy factors that impact health and well-being with a strong focus on substance abuse and addiction. This focus has been informed by over a decade of clinical and community work. To better understand how contextual factors relate health and well-being I sought academic training in social welfare, demography, quantitative methods, public policy analysis, and health disparities. As a doctoral student, I worked under the mentorship of Dr. Richard F. Catalano at the Social Development Research Group (SDRG) at the University of Washington. The mission of SDRG pairs promotion of healthy behaviors and positive social context development across the life course. As a postdoctoral fellow, I worked under the mentorship of Dr. David W. Wetter at the Center for Health Outcomes and Population Equity (HOPE) within the Huntsman Cancer Institute. The mission of the center is to bring communities and researchers together to create long-term solutions to improve health outcomes among historically disadvantaged populations. As a professor in the University of Utah's College of Social Work, my substantive research combines the missions of both of these research centers.
