PHILLIP W. GRAHAM

Summary of Professional Experience

Dr. Graham directs the Drugs, Violence, and Delinquency Prevention Research Program within RTI’s

Center for Justice, Safety, and Resilience. Dr. Graham has over 20 years of experience conducting

community-based participatory research and evaluation among diverse populations including urban, rural,

and tribal communities. Since joining RTI, Dr. Graham has directed or collaborated on projects focusing

on the prevention of adolescent interpersonal violence and substance use. He has investigated the effects

of witnessing community violence, the development of ethnic identity among African American male

adolescents, the effectiveness of science-based interventions to reduce youth substance use, and the

impact of comprehensive school-based interventions and services to promote healthy child development.

He currently directs several state-level evaluations of initiatives designed to promote the implementation

of evidence-based prevention strategies to reduce substance abuse in local communities across the

lifespan. His training and technical assistance with communities includes using data-driven decision

making, needs assessment development, selecting evidence-based prevention strategies (individual

programs and environmental strategies), and local evaluation capacity building. His methodological focus

includes the use of mixed-methods approaches and latent class analysis and his research emphasizes the

importance of community context, systems change, and place-based strategies.
