Pineapple Support
Published on Aug 12, 2022
PASS is a nonprofit organization responsible for the health and safety of adult industry workers. Join the PASS Executive Director and Board Chair to learn about PASS, performer testing standards, and our plans for the future of occupational health in the adult industry.
About Ian – Ian works with regulators of both the pleasure products and adult film industries, to compile, analyze and provide accurate, evidence-based research on issues ranging from zoning and lubricants to workplace safety and public health. He also works on research on the industry as a whole, working to combat pseudo-scientific concepts like porn addiction and the porn public health crisis, a crucial focus at a time when over two dozen states are using such studies to ban or censor adult content.
O’Brien attended graduate school at Columbia University’s prestigious Mailman School of Public Health.
