Stacey Terrio, PhD, is a Research Associate IV at the LSU Social Research & Evaluation
Center of Excellence (SREC), where her work focuses on applied research and program
evaluation in public health, education, and public safety. Her expertise includes
quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis, survey design, interviews
and focus groups, relational database development, and technical reporting. At SREC,
she supports initiatives such as Project AWARE, the Louisiana Attendance Alliance,
and the Louisiana 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. Prior to joining LSU, she also
spent seven years supporting Gulf Coast disaster-recovery efforts following Hurricanes
Katrina and Rita, coordinating recovery activities with partners across Louisiana.
Her nearly 20 years of experience in federal, state, and nonprofit settings inform
her ability to connect policy goals with program operations and translate complex
information into actionable findings.
