Jennifer J. Carroll

Bio

Dr. Carroll is a medical anthropologist with interdisciplinary training in anthropology, epidemiology, and infectious disease research. Her research explores lived experiences of substance use and the impacts of drug policy on injury and infectious disease among people who use drugs. She has written an award winning book on the implementation of medication treatment for opioid use disorder (funded entirely as an HIV prevention mechanism) at methadone clinics in Ukraine, as well as the impact of those clinics on Ukraine’s geopolitical status and the impacts of Russia’s ongoing invasion and occupation of Ukrainian regions. More recently, her research has considered how policing and prosecution drive excess overdose in the United States and the impacts of xylazine exposure on infection and injury among people who use drugs.
