An assistant professor in the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Furr-Holden is an epidemiologist with expertise in drug and alcohol dependence epidemiology, psychiatric epidemiology, and prevention science. Her research includes evaluation of the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA)-funded “Periodic Follow-up of Two Universal Preventive Intervention Trials,” a longitudinal follow-up of two universal preventive interventions implemented in 1993 in nine Baltimore City Public Schools in a cohort of entering first-graders. She is also a co-PI on a study of young adult drug use in club settings, research that offers promising leads for prevention of young adult drug use in such settings.
