Dr. Mair is a social epidemiologist and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Behavioral and Community Health Sciences at the University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health. Her research focuses on the social ecology of substance use, model-based approaches to study drinking behaviors and related problems, and population-based analyses of alcohol-related problems such as violence. She is the Principal Investigator of an NIH R21 grant focused on the extent to which high-risk sexual behaviors and sexual assault victimization and perpetration vary in relation to selection of drinking contexts, use of alcohol in contexts, and level of use in contexts; and an NIAAA-funded R01 that uses small scale multi-methods approaches, including local survey and archival data, to assess four specific social mechanisms that may link over-concentrations of off-premise alcohol outlets in neighborhood areas to alcohol-related problems (e.g., violence and heavy drinking).
