Dr. Annie Collier is a research-based clinical psychologist with a health psychology and cross-cultural emphasis. At the beginning of her career, she contributed to the fields of psychosocial oncology and psychoneuroimmunology. After moving overseas, her professional focus changed to that of wellness program development and evaluation with Indigenous people and refugees. She now works predominantly in community-based participatory research; digital health strategies for mental health and substance abuse; peer support programs; and the use of creativity and positive psychology through social practice art and community engagement. She is currently the PI and co-PI of three NIH and NSF funded studies with American Indian and Alaska Native people: the use of an app to support vaccine uptake, the use of a culturally modified app to support sobriety, and the use of a culturally relevant behavioral mHealth app to support youth resilience in a Southwest Tribal community.
