Shaun Owens

I use community-based research methods to develop sustainable, technology-based interventions, products, and services for aging adults. My work focuses primarily on the development and evaluation of embodied conversational agents (i.e., avatars) for promoting informed health and cancer decision making among African Americans. I hold a Master of Public Health from Emory’s Rollins School of Public Health and a PhD in Health Promotion Education and Behavior from the University of South Carolina’s Arnold School of Public Health.
