INTERESTS: |
| Currently Ms. Martin works on four studies:
1) SPARC - Study to Prevent Alcohol Related Consequences. SPARC is a 5-year NIAAA-funded randomized trial testing a comprehensive intervention using a community organizing approach to implement environmental strategies in and around college campuses. Ms. Martin is a co-investigator on the study and heads up the Intervention, which is being implemented in each of five North Carolina universities.
2) NC Coalition Initiative. Ms. Martin serves as project director for this state-funded project. WFUSM serves as the administrative agency to provide support to eight local community substance abuse prevention coalitions. The work of the administrative agency can be broken down into five broad functions: 1) development and implementation of a process for selecting communities to participate, 2) development of a plan for the coalition process, 3) provision of technical assistance and training, 4) provision of financial and programmatic oversight and monitoring, and 5) implementation of an evaluation process.
3) EUDL Community Trial. Funded by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, this trial is part of the Enforcing Underage Drinking Laws (EUDL) program. The community trial tests a comprehensive intervention in 34 communities in 5 states. This randomized 5-state, 68-community randomized community trial is assessing the process and impact of the implementation of best and most promising practices for reducing underage drinking.
4) Measuring Student Exposure to ETS and College Receptivity to Environmental Change (NCI). The goal of this study is to conduct pilot research that will inform the development of a randomized campus/community trial to reduce college student smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke. |
