Expertise and Research Interests

Biological, social and psychological factors interact in a complex system to influence all stages of health and illness. To best understand these interactions, multi- and inter-disciplinary research teams are necessary. My current research has been directed toward a series of community-based, longitudinal studies in the realm of HIV/AIDS. On-going studies include: (1) identifying factors that influence recruitment, adherence and retention in AIDS clinical trials; (2) identifying the behavioral and psychological consequences of HIV counseling and testing for women. Additional interests: (3) diasaggregating the effects of race and social class on access to health care, health behaviors and health outcomes; and (4) other studies examining prevention interventions, high-risk sexual behavior, access to health care, and health outcomes for persons with HIV.
