Tiffany Chenneville, Ph.D. is an Associate Professor and Graduate Program Director in the Psychology Department at the University of South Florida St. Petersburg. She has a Joint Appointment with the USF Department of Pediatrics where she has been involved for many years as a clinician and as a researcher in the pediatric/adolescent HIV program. Historically, Dr. Chenneville’s research focused on issues of law, policy, and ethics with a particular emphasis on the decisional capacity of children with HIV to participate in treatment and research. She continues with this line of inquiry but, more recently, also has begun community-based participatory research in the area of HIV-related stigma among youth. Because HIV is a global disease, Dr. Chenneville is interested in cross-cultural research. She has worked in India and currently is working Kenya. In addition to her research, Dr. Chenneville is collaborating with a filmmaker on a documentary about pediatric HIV.
