Dr. Jordan Lewis is a Postdoctoral/Senior Research Fellow as part of an NIMH-funded postdoctoral training program at the University of Washington School of Medicine focused on behavioral health with underserved older adults. He will be focusing his research and training on exploring the lived experiences of Alaska Native Elders to develop mental health and substance abuse programs to assist Alaska Natives struggling with addiction. Jordan was a research associate with the Center for Alaska Native Health Research (CANHR) at the University of Alaska Fairbanks Institute of Arctic Biology, where he was a co-principle investigator on an NSF grant exploring the Strengths, Roles, and Needs of Alaska Native grandparents raising grandchildren. Jordan received his doctoral degree in Cross-Cultural Community Psychology from the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF), where he did his research with Alaska Native elders in Bristol Bay (SW) Alaska to establish an Alaska Native model of successful aging. His research interests include rural community mental health, Indigenous gerontology, and cross-cultural health and long-term care.
