Bio
As an epidemiologist, Dr. Lindsay has led and collaborated on investigations of the impact that substance use, including tobacco, has on infectious diseases of global importance including HIV and tuberculosis (TB). During graduate school, he studied substance use and risky sexual behavior among street adolescents in the Philippines and among female sex workers along the Northern Mexico border region. Research on the risks associated with smoking and secondhand smoke exposure among those with TB infection began as a doctoral student and continued into his postdoctoral fellowship at the Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education at the University of California, San Francisco.
Much of Dr. Lindsay’s published work has contributed to the field of global health and comes from investigations using data from Asia, the Middle East, and North America. Since August 2014, Dr. Lindsay has been an Assistant Professor in Idaho State University's Department of Community and Public Health where he continues to pursue research on substance use and infectious disease, both in Idaho and globally.
Dr. Lindsay received his Doctor of Philosophy in Public Health (Global Health emphasis) from the University of California San Diego/San Diego State University joint doctoral program; his Master of Public Health from Brigham Young University.
