Michael Todd is an Associate Research Scientist at PIRE’s Prevention Research Center. He has been with PIRE since 2003. Mike is currently working with Dr. Joel Grube and Dr. Paul Gruenewald on an NIAAA-funded study of the interplay of neighborhood characteristics (e.g., alcohol outlet density) and psychosocial variables (e.g., alcohol-related beliefs) in predicting trajectories of alcohol use in adolescents. Using currently available data, he is also exploring relationships among growth trajectories of psychosocial variables and alcohol-related outcomes. Dr. Todd’s substantive areas of expertise include stress, coping, and substance use. His methodological expertise is in daily process (experience sampling) methods, multilevel modeling, and structural equation modeling techniques.

After receiving a B.S. in Psychology from Texas A & M University in 1991, Mike earned an M.A. (1994) and a Ph.D. in Social Psychology at Arizona State University. In 2001, immediately following completion of his graduate work, Mike pursued further training as a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine’s NIAAA-funded Alcohol Research Center. While at ASU, Mike worked with data from large-scale longitudinal studies exploring the natural history of smoking and the individual and family psychosocial predictors of drinking and other psychopathology in adolescents and young adults. His doctoral and postdoctoral work focused on daily processes in the associations among stress, mood, coping, and substance use in adult and college student samples.
