Research Overview
My research interests lie primarily in the area of the design and evaluation of health education programs, particularly those directed toward sexual-risk reduction. I am also interested in capacity building for nonprofit organizations, reduction of health disparities, increasing health literacy, and the intersection of health and human rights. I have conducted a handheld computer intervention with people living with HIV, and I am interested in further pursuing multilevel modeling and ecological momentary assessment methodologies.
