Research Summary
My research interest broadly is in the application of implementation science tools to design, implement and evaluate interventions to reduce cardiovascular risk disparities in the US and globally.
Extensive Research Description
My current research projects include a multi-site diabetes prevention intervention in the Caribbean, understanding the intergenerational factors that contribute to childhood obesity in the Caribbean, development of strategies to reduce morbidity and mortality due to non-communicable diseases after natural disaster, and capacity strengthening in implementation science in low-and-middle-income countries.
