Speaker
Elizabeth Weybright, PhD
Associate Professor, WSU CAHNRS
Grounded in prevention science and systems theory, Dr. Weybright’s research focuses on adolescent health promotion and prevention. This spans a) basic research on topics such as youth behavior (e.g, rural youth firearm engagement); b) dissemination, adaptation, and implementation of prevention and positive youth development programs; and c) building capacity among professionals and systems for delivery of evidence-based approaches for health promotion and prevention. Building on roles of Extension specialist and former unit director, her work advances the concept of Health Extension and using the Extension network and related strengths to more effectively deliver community care in rural areas to address health inequities. See her edited book on Health Extension for more information.
