Dr Gary Chan joined CYSAR in 2010 as a PhD student, and worked with Associate Professor Adrian Kelly in order to understand developmental trajectories of substance use among adolescents. Gary has a background in both psychology and statistics, and has a strong desire to make a meaningful contribution in preventing problematic and risky drinking during adolescence. Throughout his PhD, Gary examined the impact that family, peers and school have on the initiation and escalation of alcohol use, and how they vary during various stages of adolescence.
