Dr. Radin is a Research Scientist at ADAI. She received
her Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of Washington, while working
collaboratively with the UW and the Seattle Indian Health Board for
several years to develop a life skills curriculum to help AI/AN adolescents
navigate through risks and challenges during the teen years. Following
graduate school, Dr. Radin completed a 1-year clinical internship
at the Long Beach VA in California, and a 1-year postdoctoral fellowship
at the Seattle VA Center of Excellence in Substance Abuse Treatment
and Education. She subsequently consulted with Cascadia Addictions
Research and Education.
Dr. Radin joined the ADAI staff in March, 2008 to work with Dennis
Donovan, Lisa Rey Thomas, and others on a study of the use of methamphetamine
and other drugs among tribal communities in Washington. The study
is a supplement to ADAI's grant from the National Drug Abuse Treatment
Clinical Trials Network (CTN).
