R01 Awarded to MPIs Dr. Tamara Taggart (DC CFAR) and Dr. Nisha Gottfredson (UNC CFAR) |
Please join us in congratulating MPIs Dr. Tamara Taggart (DC CFAR) and Dr. Nisha Gottfredson (UNC CFAR) who were awarded an R01 from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) entitled "Measuring the impact of structural racism and discrimination during adolescence on substance use, psychological distress, and criminal justice outcomes in adulthood".
This study focuses on measuring the consequences of adolescent exposure to structural racism and discrimination within neighborhoods and school and peer networks on interactions with the criminal legal system, mental health, substance use, and treatment-seeking in adulthood. The investigators aim to gather evidence on different structural leverage points such as community resilience factors to improve future interventions serving adolescents and young adults living in rural North Carolina.
