Dr. Hannah Schreier is an Associate Professor of Biobehavioral Health at the Pennsylvania State University. She is also affiliated with the Child Maltreatment Solutions Network.

Broadly speaking, she is interested in understanding how social influences at multiple levels, including within the family and the larger neighborhood environment, relate to important physiological outcomes, e.g. chronic inflammation, that have the potential to alter long-term health. Along these lines, Dr. Schreier is very interested in social contributors to existing health disparities and, although she has worked with individuals of all ages, she particularly enjoys working with adolescents. Going forward, she hopes to examine in more detail the possibilities of using social interventions, e.g. assignment to volunteering, to actively improve physiological health outcomes among individuals.

Dr. Schreier received her MA and PhD (both in Health Psychology) from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, BC, Canada and her BA from McGill University in Montréal, QC, Canada. Before joining the BBH department at Penn State in the Fall of 2015 she completed a three-year postdoc in the Department of Pediatrics at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York, NY.
