Wendee M. Wechsberg (born in Miami, Florida) is an American social science researcher. Wechsberg's research focuses on developing and testing the efficacy of HIV prevention interventions among key populations of substance abusers globally. She is a recognized expert in the fields of substance abuse, gender inequality, and HIV.[1][2] She developed the Women's CoOp intervention, a woman-focused behavioral HIV intervention that incorporates gender- and culture-specific skills training.[3] Wechsberg is a Principal Researcher and Director of the Substance Use, Gender, and Applied Research (SUGAR) Program at RTI International and Director of the RTI Global Gender Center. She is also adjunct professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) Gillings School of Global Public Health,[4] Adjunct Professor of Psychology at North Carolina State University (NCSU), and adjunct professor in Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Duke University School of Medicine.
Education
[edit]Wechsberg received a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of South Florida in 1975. She received her Master of Science degree in Human Developmental Counseling from Peabody College at Vanderbilt University in 1979, and her doctorate in Community Psychology from North Carolina State University in 1993.[5]
Career
[edit]Since 1994, Wechsberg has applied mixed methods research to develop and test the efficacy of HIV prevention interventions among diverse populations of people who use substances, particularly at-underserved populations of women, adolescent girls, and couples. Wechsberg began working full-time at RTI International as a Research Psychologist in 1996 and became Director of the Substance Use, Gender, and Applied Research (SUGAR)Program, formerly known as the Substance Abuse Treatment, Evaluations, and Interventions program, in 1999. In 2013, she also became Director of the RTI Global Gender Center, an initiative that includes over 300 affiliates and experts worldwide who work collaboratively to identify and address gender inequalities and disparities through innovative research and science.[6]
Additionally, Wechsberg started the International Women's and Children's Health and Gender (InWomen's) Group in 2007 with support from the National Institute on Drug Abuse. She serves as Chair of the InWomen's Group, a multidisciplinary forum addressing all aspects of substance use among women, children, and youth. The group comprises more than 200 members from 40 countries. InWomen's hosts its own satellite meeting annually before the College on Problems of Drug Dependence Conference.[7] She was also recently appointed as the President of WomenNC. Dr. Wechsberg was recently announced to be a part of the 2022 Forbes 50 over 50 Impact list. [8]
Research and impact
[edit]Wechsberg has served as principal investigator and project director on studies with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, and the National Institute on Drug Abuse. She has been conducting international research in South Africa with at-risk substance-using women[9] and adolescent girls[10] since 2001, and more recently with couples.[11] In 2008, Wechsberg was ranked third among all researchers funded by the National Institutes of Health who received HIV/AIDS investigator-initiated grants with research in the United States and internationally.[12]
Wechsberg is the creator of the woman-focused HIV prevention program, the Women's CoOp, which was developed in 1998.[13] The original Women's CoOp study was funded by NIDA for more than 10 years, and is a CDC best-evidence HIV behavioral prevention intervention.[3] It has been adapted specifically for underserved and vulnerable adult and adolescent women in the United States, as well as in multiple regions in South Africa, the Republic of Georgia, and Russia.[14][15]
The RTI Global Gender Center hosted a conference on "Ending Gender Inequalities: Addressing the Nexus of HIV, Drug Use, and Violence with Evidence-based Action".[16][17] Wechsberg served as the Conference Chair. The conference spotlighted successful evidence-informed gender research and practice, and strategized solutions to broaden intervention implementation in usual care settings through engaging plenaries, panels, and multilevel collaborative sessions. Conference attendees included international participants, such as gender experts, civil society, leading researchers, policymakers, survivors, implementing partners, and students.[18]
The impact of Wechsberg's gender-focused work has been recognized both nationally[19][20][21][22] and internationally.[23] Notably her work with high-risk women, adolescents, and couples in South Africa has produced the Women's Health CoOp, the Young Woman's CoOp, and the Couples' CoOp, which are adaptations of the original intervention and effective tools to reduce not only HIV, but violence and drug use – all of which are highly prevalent in the country.[24][25] Recently, Wechsberg began developing a mobile app that would make the Young Women's CoOp more accessible to adolescent and young adult women at-risk for HIV.[26] If the mobile app version of the Young Women's CoOp is found to be as effective as the face-to-face intervention, it could be the first mobile app to deliver an evidence-based, women-focused HIV intervention for young women.
