Dr. Jimi Huh has joined the University of Southern California in 2011. She has a background in psychology and behavioral health, with specific interests in the topics of addiction, behavioral change and health disparities. Her research focuses on health behaviors that reoccur at great frequencies and require moderation such as substance use and other addictive behaviors, focusing on individuals from communities of color, using ecological momentary assessment (EMA) and just-in-time adaptive intervention (JITAI). Dr. Huh's expertise is in EMA of health behaviors, mHealth intervention designs, and advanced quantitative methods applied to observational and experimental data, using novel analytic strategies and techniques. Her research examines microtemporal processes that underlie variations in health risk behaviors and dynamic responses to behavior change interventions, with special emphasis on intensive longitudinal data analysis and latent variable modeling. Her current project funded by NIDA examines co-use of cannabis, tobacco and alcohol among minoritized adults in relation to perceived intersectional stigma and discrimination. She has served as PI of a mobile-EMA study and subsequent development of JITAI for smoking cessation among Asian American young adults and as co-I of NIH-funded studies of mobile-EMA for other health behaviors such as physical activity and eating. She has also led a NIH-funded study developing and pilot testing a JITAI for health risk behaviors using co-design strategies for Hispanic youths and families in Los Angeles areas. She has also served as a co-I on the University of Southern California Tobacco Center of Regulatory Science (TCORS) examining environmental influence of vape shops on e-cigarette and other tobacco product use among vulnerable populations.
