Lia C Scott, PhD, MPH

I am currently an Assistant Professor of Epidemiology in the Department of Population Health Sciences at Georgia State University School of Public Health.

I completed my post-doc as a Steven M. Teutsch Prevention Effectiveness (PE) Fellow at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the Division of Cancer Prevention and Control.

What drives my research is asking:

Why? and Where?

I'm passionate about integrating place and health using population based methods with a focus on the effect of structural racism on cancer outcomes, in order to progress towards health equity.

I serve on the Committee for Women in Statistics in the American Statistical Association and the International Myeloma Foundation African American Council. Ask me about how you can get involved.
