Theresa Herrera Allen, Researcher 2 at NPC Research, joined the company in April 2006 as a data collector for the Washington County Oxford House evaluation. The project examined the impact (including improvements in self-sufficiency and community adjustment along with reductions in subsequent drug use and criminal offending) and cost-benefit of transitional housing in a local community corrections system. Since then, she has worked on evaluations of drug courts in Oregon and Maryland, substance abuse treatment and suicide prevention in Native American communities, college access programs in Oregon high schools and child abuse prevention programs. Dr. Herrera Allen has more than 10 years experience as a research assistant and evaluator for programs related to substance abuse, at-risk youth and gang intervention.

Dr. Herrera Allen earned a Master of Arts in Sociology from the University of Southern California, with an emphasis in Criminology. In April 2007 she completed her doctoral degree in Sociology at USC.
