Douglas J. Wiebe
Biography
Dr. Wiebe's research interests include environmental risk factors for injury, intimate partner violence, alcohol use and alcohol availability, and the impact of daily routines on health-related behavior. A number of his studies examine how keeping a firearm at home relates to homicide, suicide, and unintentional shootings of household members. Dr. Wiebe also works closely with Penn surgeons on studies of the clinical management of trauma.
Dr. Wiebe leads a study funded by the National Institutes of Health to measure the extent to which adolescents are exposed to risk and protective factors over the course of their daily activities, and investigate the impact of exposure on the likelihood of being assaulted (Space-Time Adolescent Risk Study). The availability of alcohol in the community is a key risk factor in this investigation. He also leads an investigation funded by the Center for Health Care Equity Research of the Veteran's Administration to study suicide and other causes of death among American military veterans. He is a member of the American College of Epidemiology and of the Board of Directors of SAVIR (Society for the Advancement of Violence and Injury Research) and serves as a reviewer for journals including the American Journal of Public Health, American Journal of Epidemiology, British Medical Journal, and Pediatrics.
