Assistant Professor of Anthropology Jennifer Carroll led the study examining officers’ knowledge, preparedness and compassion fatigue when responding to an opioid overdose.

Carroll, an assistant professor of anthropology at Elon, and Alcock, a frontline healthcare worker and recent Elon alum, discuss how people make sense of illness when diagnostic testing is uncertain.

Carroll was interviewed by the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO), one of the largest public health organizations in the U.S.

The program, designed to develop research capacity at the intersection of health and criminal justice, is co-sponsored by the National Institutes on Drug Abuse and the Justice Community Opioid Intervention Network.

Assistant Professor of Anthropology Jennifer Carroll received the Rudolf Virchow Professional Prize from the Society for Medical Anthropology's Critical Anthropology for Global Health committee.

Cameron Mullins ’21, Hannaleigh Pierce ’21 and Mackenzie Martinez ’21 presented their research on student perceptions of drug and alcohol safety policies at Elon at the joint meeting of the American Anthropological Association and the Canadian Anthropology Society in Vancouver, British Columbia.

The forum, co-sponsored by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Bureau of Justice Administration, was held in Washington, D.C., in August.

Carroll and her colleagues found that disruption to the social networks through which illicit drug sales take place may immediately increase the risk of overdose among individuals of color who use drugs.
