My Research

Delvon T. Mattingly is a PhD candidate in epidemiology at the University of Michigan School of Public Health. He works with the University of Michigan/Georgetown University and American Heart Association Tobacco Centers of Regulatory Science (TCORS 2.0) to conduct research that informs FDA’s regulatory authority over tobacco products in the United States, and previously on the Michigan COVID-19 Recovery Surveillance Study (MI-CReSS), an ongoing public health surveillance project that aims to understand the experiences of Michiganders’ with a confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis.

His work applies a social epidemiological lens to understanding health disparities in substance use, misuse, and associated health outcomes. He attempts to better understand the role racially salient social and psychosocial determinants of health, such as structural racism and its downstream factors like discrimination and police violence, has on impacting substance use and mental health outcomes and disparities. He also has a general interest in work that aims to promote health equity at the population level. Below are lists of his publications and presentations to date.

Note: Due to dissertation work, other research, and the pandemic, I have not published creative works in over a year. If you’re interested in seeing what I’ve been up to, check out “My Research” on the home page.

I am currently working on a children’s chapter book entitled “The Strays on Whisker Street”. Please stay tuned for more information about this. I am aiming to self-publish within the next year or so.

Several of my more recent works are located on my Instagram (@delvonwrites). Poems that have been originally published elsewhere may have been modified to fit the style of the account.

Please navigate to the original publication source to read any of these works. You might stumble upon some great fiction/CNF/poetry from other writers along the way! If a link below does not work, contact me and I will send you a copy of the piece via email.
