The study will integrate individual-level data with geocoded state-level information on hate crime incidence, statutory provisions and other relevant public health or economic contexts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;This new funding is a natural progression of our years of work seeking to comprehend the communities most affected by drug abuse,\u201d said Hongying (Daisy) Dai, PhD, associate dean of research at the college and principal investigator of the study. \u201cThese communities often lack the resources to address the associated health implications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe findings from this large-scale study will provide timely evidence to guide public health officials in mitigating the addiction crisis and safeguarding vulnerable populations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Dai will collaborate with researchers at UNMC and the University of Southern California to illuminate the relationship between substance use and multiple public health factors \u2014 such as economic insecurity, housing instability and employment volatility \u2014 and behavioral factors, such as resilience and coping strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The research team welcomes students and faculty to join the research interest group for collaborative publications.
