About Gregory Stevens and Melanie Sabado-Liwag

Melanie Sabado-Liwag received her PhD at the School of Community & Global Health at Claremont Graduate University in California, and MPH at California State University, Fullerton. Prior to joining Cal State LA, Dr. Sabado-Liwag finished her postdoctoral fellowship at the National Institute of Minority Health and Health Disparities at NIH in Bethesda, Maryland. Her research in minority health and health disparities aims to understand psychosocial, environmental, and biological determinants related to adverse health and social outcomes across the life course. Dr. Sabado-Liwag is a mixed-methods scholar who uses advanced epidemiologic analyses to identify how these associations are related to risky behaviors (e.g., tobacco and alcohol use) in late adolescence and young adulthood. Her other research efforts include working with underrepresented communities and developing evidence-based, culturally-tailored projects and interventions through community-based participatory research methods and mobile health (mhealth) strategies.
