But our findings from the Black Adult Resilience Study show something different — when research is rooted in community and trust, people want to be part of it.

Yay, Christine!
Kudos and congrats to, Christine Chang, my 2nd year PhD student for being selected to receive a 2025 APAGS/Psi Chi Junior Scientist Fellowship. This award recognizes outstanding research-oriented students early in their doctoral training, and provides support for direct research costs.

Yay, Christine!
New findings on cannabis use patterns by considering daily life ZIP-coded information and people’s narratives about where, how, and with whom they use. Come listen and discuss what these results may mean for reducing cannabis-related risks and interventions!

We’ll discuss the different factors that influence cannabis use and share insights from data we’ve collected so far.

Check out some early SeattleTacoma area findings from our multi-site study!
We wanted to share some insights from what we’ve learned so far through our participants’ experiences.
These experiences help us recognize important patterns and identify resources that support well-being.
Representation in research matters and this is just the beginning of what we’re uncovering.

Something that is important to our lab is amplifying voices within the Black Community to strengthen bonds and to show support. So in light of the holiday season we made a list of events and Black owned businesses in your local area that may be of interest to you.

Kwanzaa is a symbol of Resilience as Black people have been stripped of many things, but Kwanzaa was something created for Black people to celebrate their History and culture in a positive light.
Kwanzaa takes place December 26th - January 1st.
7 days to celebrate 7 principles.
