Khoshnood Receives Grant for "Drug Policy in the Islamic Republic
of Iran" Study
Kaveh Khoshnood, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Epidemiology in the Division
of Epidemiology of Microbial Diseases, was awarded a Faculty Research
Grant from the Yale Center for International and Area Studies for travel
and research in connection with his study “Drug Policy in the Islamic
Republic of Iran.”
Khoshnood’s study will look at the causes and consequences of the
evolution of drug policy in Iran, from the strict criminal justice approach
imposed following the establishment of the Islamic Republic in 1979, to
the government’s mid-1990’s legalization of drug addiction treatment
and more recent efforts to address the country’s HIV/AIDS epidemic.
