The MoVES project is funded by the Rural Drug Addiction Research Center and is focused on delineating the exact pathways between specific substance use and violence-related factors to better understand the complexities of drug use and intelligently design interventions to reduce its harms. In this seminar, Andrews will take a deeper dive into MoVES and discuss his findings.

Andrews is an associate professor with a joint appointment in the Department of Psychology and Institute for Ethnic Studies at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. He has been at Nebraska since 2016 and has co-directed the Minority Health Disparities Initiative since 2020. He focuses on stress-related inequalities and testing ways to improve mental health access, particularly for Latinx populations.

This talk is sponsored by RDAR Center, and it is an installment within their Seminar Series.
