Research Summary

My mixed-methods global public health research program seeks to understand how best to: a) promote and support breastfeeding and other infant and young child feeding practices, including responsive feeding; b) measure and address household food and water insecurity; c) improve maternal nutrition during pregnancy and the postpartum period through produce prescription programs; d) improve screening and access to quality health care among people with or at risk of hypertension; e) prevent type 2 diabetes through community-engaged health care systems and IT including virtual Diabetes Prevention program; f) improve coverage and quality of Diabetes Self Management Education and Support Programs through community-engaged approaches; g) scale-up, disseminate, and sustain public health interventions across the life course. I also conduct public health program evaluation research by developing and applying mixed implementation science methods. All my research and program evaluation studies prioritize low income communities (including people of color in the U.S) that engage together with other key partner since the co-design phase, and are guided by sound systems, health equity and theory of behavior change frameworks
