Background & Research Interests
Alisa Garner, (she/her) is an Assistant Professor in the Clinical Psychology program
in the Department of Psychology at the University of North Texas. She directs the
Alcohol and Sexual Behaviors (ASB) research lab.
Dr. Garner's research examines alcohol misuse as it relates to problematic sexual
behaviors including sexual aggression perpetration and risky sexual behaviors (e.g.,
hookups, casual sexual encounters, sexting) among high-risk populations (e.g., college
students, adults with substance use disorders). She utilizes longitudinal methods
(daily diary and ecological momentary assessment) and objective measures of alcohol
use (transdermal alcohol monitors) to better understand the risk factors of alcohol
use leading to sexual risk-tasking and assault. Dr. Garner’s research has been funded
by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism.
