About the Speaker
Stephen L. Schensul PhD (anthropology) is Professor of Community Medicine and Health Care at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine. Dr. Schensul’s research and intervention has focused on community health and development in urban areas of the US (Chicago, Miami and Hartford) and internationally (Peru, Kenya, Sri Lanka and India). In the 1990s, Dr. Schensul directed a program of research and intervention on sexual risk behavior and prevention of HIV/STI that has included projects among young women workers in Mauritius and youth in Sri Lanka. From 2001-2007, Dr. Schensul was principal investigator of an NIMH-funded, (2001-2007) project on the prevention of HIV/STI among married men in a low income area of Mumbai, followed in 2007-2013 by an NIMH funded project on women and their risk for transmission of HIV/STI within marriage in a low income community in Mumbai. His current NIAAA-funded project (2014-2019) addresses the role of alcohol in ART adherence in multiple government-run ART Centers in the State of Maharashtra, India. Dr. Schensul’s work has focused on mixed qualitative and quantitative methods, culturally-based interventions, and applied research. He is the recipient of the Solon T. Kimball Award for Public and Applied Anthropology (1990), the University of Connecticut Provost’s Faculty Award for Excellence in Public Engagement (2008) and the Career Achievement Award (2010) from the Society for Medical Anthropology.
