Geoffrey Hunt receives funding to continue research on drug use and dance scene

Dr. Geoffrey Hunt, with Co-Principal Investigators, Professor Karen Joe-Laidler and Dr. Bart Aoki were awarded a National Institute on Drug Abuse funding on “Asian American Gay and Bisexual Men, Club Drugs, and Nightlife”, to continue their work on drug use and the dance scene. In this three-and-a-half year funding, the project’s focus will be on issues of drug use among gay and bisexual Asian American men. Notions of ethnic and sexual identity among Asian American men of varying backgrounds and the ways in which these identities relate to their drug use and participation in high-risk sexual behaviors will be examined.
