Research Focus

I do public health research on sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections (STBBI) such as HIV and HCV. Using quantitative methods, I aim to understand risks for STBBIs and poor health outcomes among vulnerable populations (men who have sex with men, people with substance use disorders, incarcerated persons). Using implementation science, I am also interested in evaluating STBBI-related prevention and care interventions.
