Ruth A. Gassman conducts public health research focused on adolescent health behaviors and substance use, examining how social and environmental factors shape outcomes like risky sexual behavior, suicidal thoughts, and substance abuse. Her work often uses a social ecological approach, which considers multiple layers of influence (individual, family, community, and society) on health. Recent studies have addressed sexual minority adolescents and students in the U.S. Midwest.
