Cancer Research Interest

Disease Site Focus: No Specific Disease Site
Research Focus Area: Health Disparities, Prevention
Type of Research: Population Sciences
Research Keywords: Survivorship, Behavior change, Health Inequities, Prevention, Health Disparity Populations
Research Interest Statement: My research interests include cancer health disparities and behavioral health across the cancer continuum, with a focus on survivorship. I have great interest in the development of theory-driven research strategies focused on diminishing cancer survivor inequities especially among those experiencing an extra layer of health disadvantage such as rural, racial and ethnic minority, low education, and low-income adults. I’m interested in collaborating in multi-disciplinary, multi-institutional, and multi-state teams to achieve equitable cancer and health outcomes.
