Research summary
AI-generated

Maria A. Parker studies patterns of substance use in the general population, including tobacco and e-cigarette use, opioid and other drug use disorders, and how these behaviors relate to mental health and social factors. Much of the work uses large public health survey and cohort datasets to examine who is affected and how substance use varies across different groups. Recent studies pay particular attention to differences by sexual identity, adolescent behavior, and overdose prevention.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
