Biography

Stacey W. Lloyd is a Research Intern at 3-C Institute for Social Development where her focus is curriculum development, data management and analysis, and grant writing. Ms. Lloyd’s interest in adolescent development and social functioning emerged while studying Sociology and Family Studies at the James Madison University. She began as a mentor for high-risk adolescents with a project entitled Acting OUTreach and later transitioned to Associate Director of the program. After completing her undergraduate studies, Ms. Lloyd continued working with adolescents at a group home in North Carolina. Though she enjoyed interacting with the youth, Ms. Lloyd sought a macro level impact of her work and decided to pursue interests in research.

Since then, Ms. Lloyd has worked on a broad range of research studies with several private and public research institutions including the UNC-RTI Evidence-based Practice Center, Battelle Centers for Public Health Research and Evaluation, UNC Program on Health Disparities, and now 3-C Institute for Social Development. Topics of the specific research projects she has worked on include children’s emotional and social development, multicultural education, human sexuality, family planning, health disparities, parent-child interactions, community-based participatory research, public opinion and understanding of genetic research, and pharmacoepidemiology. Ms. Lloyd is currently finishing her master’s at the University of North Carolina, School of Public Health, through the department of Maternal and Child Health.
