My primary research focus lies within social epidemiology and the social demography of health disparities. I investigate the intersection of race, ethnicity, and nativity, and its implications on population health and well-being.
Much of my research to date has focused on sub-group differences in chronic health outcomes among foreign-born and native born populations. My recent research examines the relationship between adult health outcomes and biopsychosocial processes through the life course.
I am particularly interested in modeling the effects of daily racial hassles from childhood through adulthood and its impact on adult health and social welfare. I use quantitative methods to determine the long term impact of inequality and a biopsychosocial framework for evaluating the effectiveness of program and policy interventions.
