Current Research

I study structural determinants of health with a life course perspective. My research goal is to inform social and economic policies that decrease health disparities. My recent published work has examined the association between state-level structural sexism and the gendered use of preventive health care, as well as the short-term health effects of changes to the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program during the COVID-19 pandemic.
 
My dissertation research is funded by the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (F31MD017935) and focuses on the relationship between childhood context and adult health. More specifically, I study 1) state variation in the relationship between childhood socioeconomic status and adult health and 2) the long-term impact of childhood exposure to welfare reform on adult health.
