Ashly Jordan is the Director of Research and Program Evaluation for the New York State Office of Addiction Services and Supports. She is an interdisciplinary epidemiologist with more than 15 years of applied research experience and public health practice focused on understanding how systems and interventions can improve health and social outcomes for people who use substances and who experience addiction. She has served as a consultant to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime. Dr. Jordan’s research has examined blood-borne and skin and soft tissue infections, tuberculosis, drug overdose, substance use epidemiology, and the impact of criminal legal involvement on substance use epidemiology and treatment trajectories. She has published extensively, including on prevention and care continua, Big Events theory, and novel metrics, and has served on study sections. Drawing on theory-based multi-level understanding of illness and health, and principles of health equity and social justice, Dr. Jordan’s research and public health practice has focused on the interplay between individual, social and structural factors on people who use substances.
