Undergraduate Research Opportunity Description

Project Description	I have several projects ongoing: 1) randomized clinical trial to support employment in persons living with HIV; 2) medication assisted treatment for opioid use disorders; and 3) a new responsible gaming study will be launching in spring 2024. In addition, I have completed trials that could be used for data analyses/posters/papers for motivated students.
