Determining the Effects of Stressors on Black Men

Applied Social Psychology Professor Lisa Bowleg’s interdisciplinary research team brings together doctoral students from GW and other major research universities to focus on improving mental and physical health outcomes for black communities that are underrepresented in social science research. Bowleg was awarded $3.7 million from the National Institutes of Health/National Institutes on Drug Abuse to support her research on reducing drug use among African American men.
