Dr. Paul Archibald is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Social Work at the College of Staten Island, City University of New York (CSI). He comes to CSI from Morgan State University School of Social Work in Baltimore, Maryland where he served in a vital role as an early career researcher to develop an emerging public health social work paradigm “stress singularity” as well as an emerging discipline and science entitled “Epidemiological Criminology.” His professional goal is to increase the number of underrepresented minority social workers who understand the public health social work framework which is the prevention and health promotion practice of social work that utilizes epidemiology to promote health, social justice and the overall well-being of the community being served — data-driven but people-focused. Dr. Archibald has over a decade of public health social work clinical practice and training dedicated to the prevention and treatment of mental and physical health outcomes among persons exposed to chronic stressors — especially those in the criminal justice system. His current research focuses on using an intersectional approach to understanding the impact of social determinants of health on stress-related health disparities. Dr. Archibald holds dear to his heart his public health social work role as “holistic health promoter.” He is a firm believer that “it takes a whole community to make a community whole!”
