Kelly Davis

Kelly Davis is an Assistant Dean and Professor at the Edson College of Nursing and Health Innovation, Arizona State University. Her work focuses on sexual health, alcohol-related violence prevention, and reproductive justice. She leads interdisciplinary research addressing sexual assault perpetration, bystander interventions, and the intersection of alcohol use with sexual behavior.

Her research interests emphasize reducing sexual aggression through evidence-based programs, such as bar-staff training and gender-specific prevention strategies. Key areas include understanding how intoxication, emotion regulation, and societal norms influence sexual decision-making. She also investigates reproductive justice issues, particularly for marginalized communities, and the implications of legal decisions like Dobbs v. Jackson on health equity.

Recent studies explore topics like nonconsensual condom removal, military sexual violence research methodologies, and mindfulness-based interventions for trauma recovery. Her work bridges clinical, policy, and community-focused approaches to address public health challenges.
