Tiffany Chenneville

Dr. Chenneville is Professor and Chair of the Psychology Department at USFSP. Her primary program of research focuses on the psychosocial issues facing children, adolescents, and young adults living with, or at risk for, HIV. Historically, Dr. Chenneville’s research focused on issues of law, policy, and ethics with a particular emphasis on the decisional capacity of youth living with HIV to participate in treatment and research as well as global research ethics. She continues with these lines of research but, more recently, also has been engaged in community-based participatory research on HIV-related stigma among youth. Because HIV is a global disease, Dr. Chenneville is interested in cross-cultural research. She has worked in India and currently is working on the SEERs (Stigma-reduction through Education, Empowerment, and Research) Project in Kenya. Dr. Chenneville also worked as a Fulbright Specialist at the Perinatal HIV Research Unit, which is an affiliate of the University of Witwatersrand in South Africa. Dr. Chenneville has contributed significantly to the literature with a multitude of peer-reviewed journal articles and book chapters. She recently published an edited book with Springer Publishing, A Clinical Guide to Pediatric HIV:  Bridging the Gaps Between Research and Practice. Dr. Chenneville’s work has been recognized through many awards and honors to include the USF World Global Achievement Faculty Award for International Research, the USF Faculty Outstanding Research Achievement Award, the Women in Leadership and Philanthropy Award, the USFSP Chancellors Award for Excellence in Research, the USFSP Chancellors Award for Excellence in Service, and the USF Outstanding Faculty Award.
