Ruichong (Chloe) Shuai

Biography

Chloe Shuai is a current second year PhD student in Psychology, at the University of Exeter, under the supervision of Associate Professor Lee Hogarth and Professor Celia Morgan. Her research focuses on developing evidence-based brief interventions for preventing trajectories of alcohol/substance dependence from adolescence to emerging adulthood. During her undergraduate Psychology degree at the University of Exeter, she investigated the effect of a breath counting technique on resilience to alcohol-seeking behaviours in response to noise induced stress, in student drinkers. As part of her PhD, she has recently completed another study on reactive imagery training for young people who are at risk of developing alcohol dependence (under data analysis) and hopes to develop this further in the future.
