Erin McClure, Ph.D.

I am a behavioral psychologist with training in behavior analysis and behavioral pharmacology, an Associate Professor in the Addiction Sciences Division of the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, and a member of the Hollings Cancer Center at MUSC. The overarching goal of my program of research is broadly focused on reducing the harmful impact of tobacco/nicotine product use and cannabis use across the lifespan. My work in this area has focused on refining and evaluating strategies to improve long-term abstinence and prevent relapse, as well as pursuing harm reduction strategies to minimize the adverse impact of substance use; all utilizing technology to improve remote procedures and data quality, as well as to increase reach and accessibility. My work in clinical research (spanning the past 14 years) has been diverse, with study designs including: human laboratory studies; randomized clinical trials; cross-sectional, online surveys; and outpatient studies that utilize technology (through the use of remote biomarker collection, mobile surveys and ecological momentary assessment [EMA] methodology).
