Biography

Jessica Draughon Moret, Ph.D., R.N., is an Associate Professor at the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing at UC Davis. Her research focuses on structural independent factors contributing to women's health disparities, with current projects examining the intersection of gender-based violence, HIV risk, comorbidities, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and substance abuse. Her dissertation, titled 'Sexual Assault Protocol Adherence Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (nPEP) HIV,' was funded by the National Institute of Mental Health and explored factors affecting the provision of HIV non-occupational post-exposure prophylaxis following sexual assault. Since becoming a forensic nurse in 2007, she has leveraged mobile technologies to enhance women's access to research studies, co-developing the mobile application 'bMOREsafe,' which provides information on resources for abuse and trauma-informed care. Currently, she is a 2023 cohort Betty Irene Moore Fellow, receiving $450,000 to improve access to HIV post-exposure prophylaxis through telehealth consultation. Draughon Moret obtained her Bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences from UC Davis in 2004, followed by a Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 2006, a Master of Science in Nursing in 2008, and a Doctor of Philosophy in 2013 from Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing. Prior to her role at UC Davis, she was a postdoctoral scholar at UCSF School of Nursing from 2013 to 2015 and received the International Association Forensic Nurses Achievement Award in 2013 for her significant contributions to the field of forensic nursing, both in clinical work and research.
