Meng-Jinn
Chen has a Ph.D. in Medical Sociology and an M.P.H. in Behavioral
Sciences. Her work integrates both quantitative and qualitative
research methods and centers on alcohol and other drug use,
drinking and driving, and other health issues among adolescents
and young adults.
She
is especially interested in applying theoretical models of
socially learned behaviors to populations with different cultural
and social backgrounds, both in the United States and internationally.
She has recently received funding from the National Institute
on Alcohol Abuse & Alcoholism to investigate how malt
liquor is consumed by college students and whether such consumption
plays a significant role in college binge drinking.
She is also involved in a longitudinal study on the effects
of alcohol advertising on the drinking beliefs and behaviors
of children and adolescents.
