Michael Gilson, JD, PhD
My interests focus on understanding etiology of substance use among adolescents and young adults, high risk events and the development of brief intervention and prevention efforts to reduce substance related harm. I have worked for over 20 years conducting research in governmental, private and academic settings to assess needs, assist in policy decisions and design intervention and prevention efforts. I am keenly interested in exploring opportunities to implement evidence-based approaches to enhance policies and practice.
