Julie Tison obtained a Ph.D. in Experimental Psychology from the City University of New York (CUNY) after getting her B.A. in psychology from McGill University in Montreal, Canada. She held a position as Assistant Professor at New York City College of Technology (CUNY). While at CUNY, she taught experimental methods, cognitive psychology and, industrial/organizational psychology. Since joining PRG, Julie has been involved in evaluations of the Click It or Ticket programs and Impaired Driving High Visibility Enforcement Campaign efforts. She directed NHTSA’s Analyzing the First Years of Click It or Ticket project. She also estimated the impact of implementing a primary seatbelt law on medical costs savings in a variety of states. More recently, Dr. Tison has examined the factors related to daytime and nighttime belt use and has conducted a study on the relationship between primary seatbelt law implementation and minority ticketing. Later in this conference, she will present the results of a study comparing repeat drinking and driving for first-time DUI offenders found guilty, or admitting guilt, to the original charge versus those found not guilty.
