Dr. McQuoid is an Assistant Professor in the TSET Health Promotion Research Center and the Department of Family and Preventive Medicine. She is a health geographer who is interested in qualitative and mixed research methods that can explore the interplay of people, their everyday environments, and behaviors related to health and wellbeing. Her current research program focuses on: (i) understanding and addressing tobacco and other substance use disparities among sexual and/or gender minoritized individuals living in high stigma places, (ii) the use of multiple substances in rural communities, and (iii) examining how young adults interact with and perceive cannabis marketing in their everyday environments. Dr. McQuoid’s projects have employed Mobile Health survey data collection methods with qualitative mapping interviews to examine the everyday patterns, contexts, roles, and meanings of different substances for priority groups.

During her fellowship at the Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education at UCSF with Drs. Pamela Ling and Janice Tsoh, she researched place-embedded social practices of smoking within marginalized groups, such as young LGBTQ2S+ adults, in order to better understand the persistence of smoking within these groups and inform the design and effectiveness of tobacco control efforts. During her PhD, she explored experiences of time and space for individuals negotiating everyday life with chronic kidney disease, and collaborated with a research group focused on time and health at the National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health in Australia.

Dr. McQuoid is a director of the OUHSC Qualitative Methods Community of Practice. For more information and requests to join the list serv email contact-qmcop@ouhsc.edu
