Gabriel R Murchison

Gabe Murchison is a social epidemiologist and behavioral scientist who studies how young adults' social contexts, such as school, work, family relationships, and romantic relationships, influence their alcohol use and co-occurring mental health symptoms. Dr. Murchison's recent work has focused on transgender/nonbinary young adults' romantic relationship experiences, including how social marginalization contributes to intimate partner violence and other adverse relationship experiences—and how supportive romantic relationships may buffer the effects of social marginalization on alcohol use and co-occurring depression and anxiety. Dr. Murchison conducts both quantitative and qualitative research, with particular interests in measure development, micro-longitudinal analyses, and causal mediation analysis. Dr. Murchison completed a joint BA-MPH at Yale University, followed by a PhD in Population Health Sciences at Harvard University and a postdoctoral fellowship with the Yale AIDS Prevention Training Program.
