Dr. Erin Vogel is an Assistant Professor in the TSET Health Promotion Research Center and the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences. Trained as a social psychologist, her research program uses experimental, observational, and qualitative approaches to examine the mechanisms underlying associations between youth tobacco use, other substance use, and mental health. Her current research projects examine: 1) how reducing social media use could reduce young adults’ nicotine vaping; 2) how daily social media use experiences may impact young adults’ nicotine vaping, and 3) how specific social media activities may influence adolescents’ mental health and health behaviors.

Dr. Vogel aims to take a holistic, solutions-oriented approach to cultural phenomena such as social media use, with a nuanced appreciation for both positive and negative effects. Prior to joining the HPRC, Dr. Vogel completed fellowships at Stanford University and the University of California, San Francisco.
