Alene Kennedy Hendricks, PhD ’15, conducts policy and services research focused on the health and well-being of people with substance use and mental health conditions. Her research focuses on understanding how health and social policies affect populations with substance use and mental health conditions. She is currently conducting research in four main areas: (1) examining the impact of insurance and financing reforms on health service use and spending among persons with substance use and mental health diagnoses; evaluating policy responses to the drug overdose crisis; and (4) policy communication research involving measurement of public attitudes, analysis of content of news media coverage, and evaluating the persuasive effects of messages framing health policy issues.
