Research Overview
Judy Y. Tan is an NIMH institutional research fellow working on several studies pertaining to her research interests in social and health inequality; the psychological experience and social outcomes of stigmatized group members; and HIV/AIDS interventions with minority populations. Currently, Ms. Tan is completing a meta-analysis on the efficacy of HIV/AIDS interventions in developing Asian nations. Her Masters thesis is examining the psychological and behavioral outcomes of identity denial and the interpersonal processes involved in social invisibility among stigmatized individuals. As related to her research interests in intergroup relations, she is also completing a study on majority group members' perceptions of ethnic minority group members (i.e., African Americans and Asian Americans) who make public vs. private attributions to discrimination. She has also collaborated with researchers at Fenway Community Health Center in Boston on several research projects, one of which on cognitive-behavioral therapy for adherence and depression in individuals with HIV was recently accepted for publication in Health Psychology.
