Beth E. Meyerson is a policy and systems researcher with focus on socio-policy structures which impact health outcomes. Her research explores public health policy and systems to advance population health with focus on harm reduction and sexual health.[1]

Meyerson's research is oriented as translational to program and policy through the application of implementation science and community-based participatory and action research (CBPAR). Meyerson is a Research Professor at the University of Arizona, and is affiliated with the Southwest Institute for Research on Women, and the Institute for LGBT Studies.[1][2]

Career and education[edit]

From 1994 Meyerson was the state AIDS and STD director for Missouri, where she held positions on the board of directors for the National Alliance of State and Territorial AIDS Directors (NASTAD).[3][4] She has also been a member of the National Coalition of STD Directors.[5]

In 1998, she formed the Policy Resource Group, LLC; an international consultancy focused on sexual health with an emphasis on building community-government relationships to advance sexual health policy.[6][7] During this time she completed a Ph.D. in Public Policy Analysis and Administration at the Saint Louis University, and served on an Institute of Medicine committee focused on the Ryan White CARE Act.[7][8] The act, enacted in 1990 and named after the Indiana teen who paved the way for people with HIV to attend school, funds grants to states and communities to provide care and treatment to people with HIV.

In 2011, Meyerson joined the faculty of the Indiana University School of Public Health as a tenure track faculty member and was appointed as an Associate Professor in 2016.[9] She also co-directed the Rural Center for AIDS/STD Prevention, and was affiliated with the Kinsey Institute and the Center for HPV Research.[10][11] While at Indiana University, Meyerson and her community colleagues conducted research regarding an HIV outbreak among people who inject drugs.[12] Her research with Indiana pharmacies paved the way for pharmacy-based interventions to reduce blood-borne infections and opioid overdoses.[13] Meyerson was subsequently awarded a Bicentennial Professorship in 2018.[14][1]

In 2019, Meyerson joined the faculty of the University of Arizona with the Southwest Institute for Research on Women in the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences. She is also affiliated with the School of Government and Public Policy, the Institute for LGBT Studies and the Department of Family and Community Medicine in the College of Medicine. [1]

She is a member of the national board of directors of Lambda Legal,[15][16] a legal organization working to assure civil rights of lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, transgender people and everyone living with HIV through impact litigation, education and public policy work. Meyerson also serves on the national board of directors of the American Sexually Transmitted Disease Association (ASTDA),[17][16] an organization focused on advancing scientific knowledge, developing research leadership and promoting public health practice in sexually transmitted infections.

Research and publications[edit]

Meyerson has contributed book chapters, books and has published several articles focused on policy and systems issues in public health, sexual health and harm reduction.[18][19] Meyerson's harm reduction research lab produced several papers documenting the need and opportunities for expansion of sexual health and harm reduction interventions in Indiana.[20][21] This work contributed to the passage of Indiana's syringe access law in 2015.[22]

Meyerson has published numerous papers documenting the need for syringe access to reduce blood-borne infections among people who inject drugs in Arizona, healthcare provider abuse of people who use drugs, issues with layperson naloxone access and need for substance use treatment system reform.[23] She has contributed to the statewide effort to decriminalize syringe access in Arizona and decriminalize fentanyl testing strips.[24][25]

She has also contributed on several media outlets with written opinion editorials, and policy and practice briefs to advance systems change.[26][27][28]
