An article that appeared in NJ.com on June 5th highlights the research conducted by 2 of our affiliated scholars, Rutgers-Camden professors Stacia Gilliard-Matthews and Robin Stevens, who are hoping their study will help youths in high-crime and high-poverty neighborhoods in the city avoid drug and alcohol abuse.
“The multi-year survey, called “EPIC Camden,” is currently being conducted by Rutgers–Camden professors Stacia Gilliard-Matthews and Robin Stevens.
