Kyler Knapp, PhD, is a public health researcher specializing in alcohol use disorder and recovery. Knapp’s research examines the dynamic intra-individual processes that contribute to psychological well-being and positive health behavior change among individuals in recovery from alcohol use disorder and/or other substance use disorders. Using advanced quantitative methods and ambulatory technology (e.g., ecological momentary assessment [EMA]), Knapp identifies social and emotional risk and protective factors experienced in daily life that can be targeted by interventions to help improve well-being and reduce problematic substance use behaviors during substance use recovery. 

Before joining the Department of Community Health and Health Behavior, Knapp was a NIAAA T32 postdoctoral fellow in the Alcohol Etiology and Treatment Training program at the University at Buffalo. He completed his MS and PhD in human development and family studies at Pennsylvania State University.
