My research focuses on the social determinants of population health disparities, including social networks, environments (neighborhoods, schools), segregation and stratification, and intersectional social identities.  I am interested in the roles of social determinants across the life course, and in particular have focused on adolescent health and development.  Many of my ongoing research projects entail developing novel quantitative analysis techniques that enable us to better understand how multiple contexts—both physical and social—combine to shape individual health behaviors and population health disparities. In particular, I have developed intersectional MAIHDA (multilevel analysis of individual heterogeneity and discriminatory accuracy) and EIM (eco-intersectional multilevel) modeling.
