Substance Abuse Prevention
Mission
To develop postdoctoral fellows as future prevention scientists for careers as independent investigators in rigorous interdisciplinary, community-based substance abuse prevention research critical to public health.
Research Portfolio
- Prevention of adolescent substance use/abuse
- Intimate partner violence and substance abuse
- Substance abuse among populations with HIV
- Stress as a biological risk factor for addictive behaviors
- Prevention of substance abuse through workplace interventions
- Parental substance abuse as a risk factor for child outcomes
The program trains postdoctoral fellows: 1) to understand substance use/abuse and related behaviors within an ecological framework that emphasizes relevant developmental, neurobiological, environmental, and cultural contexts, such as families, schools, worksites, neighborhoods, and communities; 2) to recognize that prevention science involves a process of knowledge development and application that progresses through specific phases (pre-intervention, intervention, and diffusion or going-to-scale); 3) to apply rigorous research methodologies that utilize advanced data analytic strategies and, when appropriate, use of rigorous mixed methods designs; 4) to emphasize interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research; and 5) to translate research into real-world contexts that impact prevention practice and policy. These program emphases are reinforced through didactic seminars and individually-tailored training experiences across two years that include a close working relationship with two scientific advisors.
Who is eligible?
Individuals will have a Ph.D. in clinical, community, developmental, or counseling psychology or in public health, a strong research background, and interest in pursuing an academic career.
