Madeline Meier is an associate professor in the Department of Psychology at Arizona State University. She received her PhD from the University of Missouri; completed her clinical internship at the Durham Veterans Affairs Medical Center; and completed her postdoctoral training at Duke University. Her research uses prospective longitudinal and case-control designs to understand the causes, course, and consequences of problematic substance use, primarily cannabis use and, most recently, opioid use. Her main interests involve understanding how substance use affects both mental health and physical health across the lifespan.
PhD from the University of Missouri in 2010, and postdoctoral training at Duke University in 2013.
I am interested in the causes, course, and consequences of substance use problems, particularly cannabis and opioid use. My current research projects involve (a) documenting the effects of cannabis use on cognitive function, mental health, and physical health, (b) examining the effects of cannabis legalization on public health using statewide electronic health records, and (c) testing associations between wastewater levels of opioids and rates of opioid overdoses.
