My research program focuses on individual and provider level factors related to the quality of primary and secondary prevention of stroke among minority and other vulnerable populations. I am an epidemiologist and an Assistant Professor of Epidemiology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Public Health. My research focuses on individual, provider, and community-level factors that affect health care quality for chronic disease management among minority and other vulnerable populations. I attended Yale University, where I examined the racial variation in the eligibility for and receipt of carotid endarterectomy among elderly ischemic stroke patients, and received a PhD in Chronic Disease Epidemiology. My research interests in health care disparities were further expanded during my postdoctoral fellowship at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, during which I received additional training in how community factors, physician communication behaviors and patient trust affect health outcomes.
