Brandon Nichter BA is one of six Lewis & Clark alumni to receive a prestigious National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship in 2014. After completing a Fulbright research fellowship in Chile investigating patterns of cigarette smoking among high school students, Nichter was awarded a two-year National Institutes of Health fellowship in Bethesda, Maryland, where he analyzed adolescent mental health data to identify risk factors associated with mood, anxiety, and substance-use disorders. He is currently pursuing a PhD in clinical psychology at Arizona State University, where he studies how different types of internalizing disorders, such as depression and anxiety, make youth more susceptible to substance use and substance use disorders.
