Erika Rosen

Erika Rosen serves as an Assistant Professor in the Health Science department within the College of Health & Human Services at California State University, Long Beach (CSULB), holding a PhD and MPH while on the tenure track.

Her research specializes in alcohol epidemiology, employing social and spatial epidemiologic methods to investigate how contextual determinants—including built environment factors and public policy—drive racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic disparities in alcohol use and related health outcomes. This work bridges public health, urban geography, and health equity frameworks to address systemic contributors to substance use patterns.

Outside academia, Rosen maintains active personal interests including concert attendance with her spouse, international travel, and time with her pets (a dog and two cats). Her campus office is located in HHS2 13.
