Adams Sibley

About

Adams is a third-year doctoral student and alum of the Health Behavior master’s program. Before coming to UNC, he worked for five years at the Center for Community Engaged Learning & Research in Ewing, NJ. Among other projects, he coordinated two regional coalitions focused on youth violence and prisoner reentry, which informed his venture into the injury and violence prevention field. Adams’ research interests include design and implementation of community-based interventions, barriers to uptake of harm reduction and treatment EBP in rural contexts, and stigma against people who use drugs. He currently coordinates implementation for an NIH-funded multi-county opioid intervention in Appalachian Ohio and serves as a teaching assistant for HBEH811: Development and Evaluation of Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Interventions.
