Biography

Dr. Vincent is the director of the Health Disparities and Prevention Science (HDPS) Lab. His research program merges clinical and community psychology, health psychology, and public health. Focusing on vulnerable populations, he investigates the impact of social determinants of health, such as stigma and poverty, on mental and physical health outcomes, including health behaviors. Dr. Vincent strives toward a strengths-based approach. He is interested in multilevel conceptualizations of the individual in context and an appreciation for intersectionality theory. As part of a multilevel approach, broadly defined, Dr. Vincent also investigates intraindividual, biological substrates of stigma and other social determinants of health. Dr. Vincent uses both quantitative and qualitative data-analytic methods in his work.

Currently, Dr. Vincent is developing a theory-informed, empowerment-oriented, mobile-health intervention to engage Black sexual-minority men living with HIV who have fallen out of HIV care back into care. The National Institute of Mental Health funds this work.

Dr. Vincent is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at Temple University. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Florida and a Doctor of Philosophy from the Joint Doctoral Program in Clinical and Community Psychology at Georgia State University. While a postdoctoral research fellow in prevention science at the University of California, San Francisco, Dr. Vincent completed a Master of Public Health in epidemiology with training in biostatistics from the University of California, Berkeley. Following his postdoctoral fellowship, Dr. Vincent became an Assistant Professor in the Department of Medicine at UCSF.

Joining the HDPS Lab: Dr. Vincent is accepting 1 graduate student for the academic year of 2023/2024. He is also accepting undergraduate students interested in gaining research experience related to health disparities and prevention science. Email him if you have any questions.
