Departmental Spotlight - Welcome Dr. Knudsen!

We would like to introduce Hannah Knudsen, Ph.D. as a new faculty member with the Department of Behavioral Science. Dr. Knudsen’s research focuses on addiction treatment organizations, both as organizational contexts for client care and as the workplaces of addiction counselors. Her recent work has focused on the organizational adoption of treatment innovations with an emphasis on the availability of pharmacotherapies within the American treatment system. In addition, she has examined addiction treatment organizations as employment contexts for addiction counselors. Recent publications have considered the types of managerial practices associated with burnout and turnover intention within this occupation and how work experiences influence counselors’ attitudes toward innovations.  Please help us welcome her to the team!
