Dr. Havens is a nationally recognized expert in rural health disparities. She received her MPH and PhD in Infectious Disease Epidemiology from Johns Hopkins and has been a faculty member in the Department of Behavioral Science and Center on Drug and Alcohol Research at the University of Kentucky since 2004.
Along with her colleagues, she published some of the earliest scholarly work suggesting that rural people who use drugs were injecting prescription opioids, putting them at increased risk for HIV and hepatitis C, and has contributed to more than 80 manuscripts related to the epidemic.
