Nina Christie, PhD, MPH, University of Southern California
Nina’s primary goal is to conduct research that will ameliorate suffering caused by substance use. Her work is focused through the lens of harm reduction and drug policy. Nina’s previous work has focused on the interplay between social isolation and opioid use. Currently, she is working with Drs. Margo Hurlocker and Megan Kirouac on the HOPE Study (Healing Opioids and Pain through Engagement). More broadly, she studies the interplay between social connection and substance use behaviors. Her goals are to directly influence drug policies and improve overall health and wellbeing among people who use drugs.
