Shannon Monnat's Lecture on "Demographic and Geographic Variation in Drug, Alcohol, and Suicide Mortality in the U.S"

As a scholar of social inequality and social demography, Dr. Monnat's research examines the correlates and consequences of social disadvantage, particularly at the intersections of place, public policy, and health. A common theme binding much of her work is a concern for rural people and places. Her current research focuses on social determinants of opioid use disorders and mortality, particularly in rural and small town America.
