Hello! My name is Hannah Javidi. I’m a researcher and educator working to improve adolescent sexual health.

I’ve been conducting rigorous health behavior research since 2018, when I entered the Teen Health Lab at North Carolina State University under the mentorship of Dr. Laura Widman. I’m currently working as a postdoctoral research fellow in Applied Health Science at the Indiana University School of Public Health-Bloomington under the mentorship of Dr. Eric Walsh-Buhi.

As a public health researcher with training in applied social and community psychologies, I’m curious about the determinants of young people’s sexual behaviors and how these behaviors impact their social, physical, and sexual health outcomes. I am deeply committed to developing, implementing, and disseminating effective intervention strategies to enhance adolescents’ health and quality of life.
