Kristopher Jackson, PhD, RN

Biography

I am a nurse practitioner and nurse scientist who, over the last decade, has worked in a variety of inpatient and outpatient settings at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, UCSF Medical Center, and California Pacific Medical Center. I completed my PhD in Nursing at the University of New Mexico following successful defense of my doctoral dissertation entitled, “Advertised Health and Risk-Taking Behaviors of Internet-Based MSM Sex Workers in the United States,” with distinction, in December 2021. As a doctoral student, I coauthored several peer-reviewed studies exploring advertised risk taking among Internet-based MSM sex workers and topics related to sexual and gender minority healthcare. Moving forward, I plan to focus on how we can use novel data collection methods to access hidden or stigmatized communities of people at risk for HIV.
