AINARA DIAZ GEADA

Ainara Díaz Geada is an Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Nursing of the Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, affiliated with the Department of Psychiatry, Radiology, Public Health, Nursing and Medicine. She holds a Doctorate from the same institution, focusing on Health inequalities in Compulsory Secondary Education students of a multicultural population (Burela, Lugo) (2020), supervised by Dr. Francisco Caamaño Isorna and Dra. Lucía Moure Rodríguez.

Her research interests span health inequalities, substance use in adolescents, mental health access, and public health policy. She examines issues such as cultural competence in healthcare education, pandemic impacts on severe mental health patients, and environmental interventions to reduce alcohol consumption. Her work integrates longitudinal cohort studies, contextual determinants analysis, and regional health disparities.

Her recent publications (2023–2025) emphasize adolescent risk behaviors like substance use correlations with nomophobia, teen pornography exposure, and bullying. She also explores policy implications for alcohol warning labels and urban design to combat substance use triggers. Her earlier studies (2018–2020) investigated substance use trends in multicultural populations and prescription drug misuse in university cohorts.
