In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Hannah Allen, an Assistant Professor at the University of Mississippi, in the Department of Health, Exercise Science, and Recreation Management. Dr. Allen is also Director of the Substance Use & Mental Health Research Lab.
We discuss her research which is broadly focused on substance use in a developmental context, examining the relationship between substance use and both mental health and achievement throughout college and young adulthood. She looks at a range of sedatives and stimulants, and their impact on graduate (postgraduate) wellbeing.
Dr. Allen received her PhD in Behavioural and Community Health from the University of Maryland and completed a National Institute on Drug Abuse-funded postdoctoral fellowship at Penn State University.
