Overview
Dr. Nguyen is a substance use researcher whose research program focuses on reducing the use of tobacco and cannabis and related health disparities among priority populations (e.g., youth and young adults, sexual minorities, and people with substance use disorders). Dr. Nguyen has employed a variety of research methods (e.g., human-centered design, ecological momentary assessment, and mixed methods) to address important issues in tobacco and cannabis use. Her current projects are applying mobile health technology, machine learning, and implementation science to develop smartphone interventions targeting the co-use of tobacco and cannabis among young people.
Dr. Nguyen founded and leads the smartphone-based research lab on tobacco and substance use for health equity - the HEARTY lab (https://heartylab.ucsf.edu). Her lab's mission is to provide actionable insights and novel solutions to reduce substance use, promote public well-being, and advance health equity.
