Currently, my research interests surround substance use motives, its affective predictors and associated consequences. I hope to leverage this understanding of individual contextual factors in substance use motives to design personalized treatment protocols that leverage one\u2019s personal experience, particularly centered around positive affect, acceptance and mindfulness, as a potential harm reduction strategy.

Prior to beginning my graduate training at CSU, I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in psychology at the University of Central Florida. Broadly, my research leverages mixed methodologies (e.g., drug administration, ethnography, participant observation), and advanced quantitative and qualitative analytic techniques, to better understand substance use behavior and drug pharmacology across a range of substances (e.g., cannabis, kratom, psychedelics). I am particularly interested in understanding the acute effects associated with specific drug combinations and how individuals might mitigate risks within the context of polysubstance use. For example, my master&#8217;s thesis focused on the development of a novel inventory of polysubstance use protective strategies for use within club and festival contexts. Ultimately, all of my work is conducted through a harm reduction lens, which includes community outreach, advocacy, and distribution of evidence-based drug information and resources. Outside of research, I am a therapist at a local substance use treatment clinic and serve in a number of professional service roles. Currently, I am a student representative for APA division 28 (Psychopharmacology and Substance Use) and&nbsp;serve on the student committee within APA division 50 (Society of Addiction Psychology). In my down time, I enjoy making art, seeing live music, being outside, and spending time with friends and family.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p><strong>Angelina Sung, MA, MS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Doctoral Candidate<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Clinical Psychology\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong data-rich-text-format-boundary=\"true\">Colorado State University<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:30% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"432\" height=\"469\" src=\"https:\/\/psychlabs.colostate.edu\/emery\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/08\/Headshot.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-384 size-large\" srcset=\"https:\/\/psychlabs.colostate.edu\/emery\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/08\/Headshot.jpg 432w, https:\/\/psychlabs.colostate.edu\/emery\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/08\/Headshot-276x300.jpg 276w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 432px) 100vw, 432px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"has-regular-font-size\">My name is Angelina Sung and I\u2019m a sixth-year graduate student in the Clinical Psychology PhD program.
