Research Overview
My research interests lie in the area of intimate relationships, psychosocial factors involved with HIV and other infectious disease risk behaviors, medical adherence theory and intervention, social status, and health behaviors more generally. I work on a variety of projects at CHIP, including papers on ART adherence and more recently on the development of proposals to examine the role of nutrition on ART adherence resistance.
