He has been the Principal Investigator or Project Director on numerous prevention grants and contracts from the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism and the National Institute of Drug Abuse. The goal of his research has been to identify and evaluate evidence-based approaches to prevention that can achieve reductions in the onset of use and that can be applied in everyday settings.

Education and Academic Experience
Dr. Hansen received an honors bachelor of arts degree from the University of Utah in 1974, a master of science degree in 1977, and a Ph.D. in 1978 in social psychology, both from the University of Houston.

Honors
In 2001, Dr. Hansen was the recipient of the Society for Prevention Research “Science to Practice” award, recognizing his contribution to designing evidence-based approaches to prevention that can be used in real world settings. Dr. Hansen was named Outstanding Researcher by the American School Health Association (2000) and received the Paper of the Year Award from Health Education & Behavior (2004). He is author of All Stars, a prevention program for middle school students, that has received recognition as a model program by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA: 2000).
