BIO
Megan Patrick’s published research focuses on substance use across the lifespan. Her interests include motivations for substance use, the prevention of health risk behaviors, statistical methods for modeling behavior and behavior change, and mobile and web-based survey methodology. She is the Principal Investigator of the Monitoring the Future Longitudinal Panel Study, which is a national study following over 50 cohorts of high school graduates (N>120,000 participants) from ages 18 to 65 since the mid-1970s. Her other current NIH-funded projects have included a focus on high-intensity drinking, simultaneous alcohol and cannabis use, long-term patterns and consequences of substance use, and adaptive interventions to support health during the transition to college.
