Aiken, SC (10/08/2021) — Dr. Mary Moussa Rogers, assistant professor of psychology at the University of South Carolina Aiken (USCA), is the recent recipient of a three-year grant totaling $150,000.
The grant program is "Primary Prevention Strategies for South Carolina Colleges and Universities." Funding will go toward substance use prevention workshops for USCA students and young adults in Aiken County, both in-person and online.
Along with two graduate assistants, Rogers will collect pre-and post-workshop data on substance use, mental health, and coping skills.
