Research Interests

Dr. Ham is currently a Professor at the University of Arkansas and the Director of the Alcohol Research Lab. Dr. Ham’s program of research emphasizes reducing alcohol-related harms, alcohol-involved sexual violence, and the interplay between anxiety and alcohol misuse. Dr. Ham employs quantitative and qualitative research methodologies in laboratory, field, and online settings to explore her research questions. Though much of her work has focused on college students, a population at very high risk for alcohol problems, Dr. Ham’s program of research also includes adolescents and adult clinical and non-clinical populations. Dr. Ham has received extramural funding from the ABMRF/The Foundation for Alcohol Research, the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada to support portions of this research program. She has also co-sponsored student NRSA training grants funded by NIAAA.

Teaching Interests

In addition to mentoring students in research projects, grant writing, professional development, and as research assistants, Dr. Ham also teaches undergraduate- and graduate-level courses. These courses include Abnormal Psychology,  Interprofessional Approaches to Treating Substance Use Disorders, Advanced Seminar in Substance Misuse,  Graduate Psychopathology, Advanced Clinical Diagnosis and Personality Assessment, and Seminar in Social Anxiety and Problem Alcohol Use. She also provides clinical supervision to doctoral students in the Clinical Training Program in the Clinical Practicum course, including intensive live supervision in an Intervention Clinical Practicum. She also works with all doctoral clinical psychology students as the director of the doctoral program in clinical psychology.
