Dr. Linda Garrett

Assistant Professor Dr. Linda Garrett is an Instructor in Collaboration in the Doctoral program and an instructor in the Nurse Practitioner Program (young and middle pediatrics and women’s health).  Much of her research concerns sexual abusers.  She has completed research on the childhood experiences of incarcerated male child sexual abusers; and, currently, she is the primary investigator in a study that examines childhood experiences of incarcerated female child sexual abusers.  This research is funded by a RDC grant. 

In addition to her work with incarcerated sexual abusers, Dr. Garrett is also a co-investigator in a HPV study which examines perceptions of women in Appalachia regarding the HPV vaccine; and, she is examining the “Show me the Money” program that was developed by ETSU students.  She plans to research the success of the program from students’ and faculty’s points of view.  

At this time, she has two articles in progress and she plans to submit her research with male participants by the fall.  She also anticipates publishing at least two articles on the study with females, a minimum of two articles on the HPV study, and plans to write an article on the “Show me the Money” program.
