Hi, I'm Dr. Jessica Hanson. I have my Ph.D. in Community and Behavioral Health from the University of Iowa’s College of Public Health. I'm an Associate Professor in the Public Health Program at UMD, and I am also serving as the Interim Associate Dean in the College of Education and Human Service Professions.
I teach several classes here at UMD, including Research and Evaluation, Planning Health Interventions, Program Administration, and Principles of Epidemiology. I also have active research projects that focus on developing, implementing, and evaluating public health interventions within Native American communities, most of which target reducing risk for alcohol-exposed pregnancies. You can find my list of publications on Google Scholar.
I welcome undergraduate or graduate students reaching out about getting involved in my research.
