Research and Teaching Interests
Dr. Cheuk Chi (George) Tam earned his Ph.D. and M.S. in Health Psychology from Virginia Commonwealth University and a M.A. in Developmental and Counseling Psychology from Beijing Normal University. He has been dedicated into developing, delivering, and evaluating psychosocial-theory-based interventions (e.g., Resilience) among vulnerable population and people living with HIV/AIDS.
As a health psychologist, Dr. Tam expanded his research interests to the field of prescription drug/opioid misuse since 2015. His current research focuses on (1) technology-based psychosocial intervention for prescription drug misuse and biopsychosocial influences on prescription drug misuse; (2) Psychological and behavioral aspects of COVID-19; (3) Resilience-based intervention to mitigate HIV-related stigma and its influences in people living with HIV.
