Hannah M. Piscalko

Hannah M. Piscalko studies drug use, harm reduction, and HIV/sexual health risk, with a strong focus on rural Appalachian Ohio communities affected by the opioid epidemic. Her work uses qualitative and implementation-science methods to understand stigma, trauma, gender dynamics, and access to treatment (such as medications for opioid use disorder) among people who use drugs and sex workers. Much of her research aims to inform community-based harm reduction programs and overdose response strategies in under-resourced rural areas.

Publication output was minimal before 2020, rose modestly through 2021-2023, and shows a sharp increase in 2026, suggesting growing recent research activity.
