Her research focuses on cannabis and tobacco co-use (especially via blunts), medical marijuana and racial disparities in the prevention and treatment of substance use disorders. She currently has a career development award (K23) from the National Institute on Drug Abuse to develop and pilot test a Twitter-based intervention designed to promote blunt use reduction among young adults who frequently smoke blunts. Dr. Montgomery also has a pilot grant from UC to conduct a mixed methods study on the health and social effects of medical marijuana. In her spare time, she enjoys reading, going to the movies and spending quality time with her family.
