Tamika C. B. Zapolski studies substance use (such as alcohol and cannabis) among Black and other racially minoritized adolescents and young adults, examining how experiences like racial discrimination, microaggressions, and trauma affect mental and behavioral health. Her work also explores protective factors such as ethnic-racial identity and family involvement, and develops culturally adapted treatments for youth, including those in the legal system. A recurring focus is understanding and reducing health disparities.
Publication activity has remained fairly steady over the past decade, averaging around 9 to 10 papers per year in recent years with some year-to-year fluctuation.
