Genevieve
Ames received her Ph.D. in Medical Anthropology from the University
of California, San Francisco and Berkeley. She is an Associate
Director and Senior Scientist at PRC, Adjunct Professor in
the School of Public Health, and affiliated faculty in the
Medical Anthropology Department, U.C. Berkeley. Dr. Ames has
served as Principal Investigator for DOD/NIH/NIAAA-funded
studies for almost 20 years, and is the PI/Program Director
for two Post- and Pre-Doctoral NIH training programs co-sponsored
by the School of Public Health and PRC.
Her
major research foci include the influence of cultural, social,
and physical environments on the etiology, diagnosis, treatment,
and prevention of alcohol and other drug-related problems,
and the transference of science to public policy and prevention
programming. Her research has identified environmental influences
on drinking behavior and problems in the context of the workplace,
the family, ethnic groupings, and among women. She has published
her research findings on occupational drinking and problems
among factory and foreign managed workers, municipal employees,
young adults entering the workforce, women in traditionally
male job categories, and U.S. military personnel.
Her family and gender publications focus on blue-collar, white
and Latino populations, maternal alcoholism, alcoholic family
system, and new indicators of women's drinking problems. She
specializes in the integration of ethnographic, archival,
and survey methods.
