Research Interests
Jan Gryczynski’s research has
focused on the social contexts of substance use, abuse,
intervention, and policy from various stakeholder perspectives
using quantitative and qualitative approaches. His research
interests include human services policy, program evaluation,
deviant behavior, and the social and policy ramifications of
substance use. Currently, Mr. Gryczynski is working on a
community-based participatory research project aimed at improving
behavioral health and service access among urban American
Indians. His role on the project includes community service needs
research and the evaluation of a substance abuse, HIV, and
hepatitis prevention program targeting at-risk American Indians
living in Baltimore, Maryland. He is currently a doctoral student
in the Department of Public Policy at the University of Maryland,
Baltimore County.
