Dr. Fisher (Ph.D., The University of Texas at Austin) joined Pacific Institute in 1991, where she has worked as a researcher on a wide range of projects. Her early work focused on substance abuse prevention, policy research, and cost analyses of impaired driving, juvenile violence and other injuries. Her current research focuses on youth risk-taking. She is collaborating with staff in PIRE’s Berkeley office on research funded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development examining how sexual content in the media influences adolescents’ sexual attitudes, intentions, and behaviors. In the alcohol area, she is working on projects funded by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation using secondary data analyses to study policy factors related to youth impaired driving, including the strength of minimum legal drinking age laws and their enforcement.
