    脕ngela 骋耻迟颈茅谤谤别锄 conducts research at the intersection of public health and medical sociology and employs quantitative, qualitative, and community-based participatory research (CBPR) methods to identify the factors that buffer or exacerbate health inequities among Latinx and Black adults. Her three interdisciplinary lines of research focus on: (1) risk, resilience, and coping among middle-aged and older Latinx and Black Americans; (2) the role of psychosocial factors in shaping cognitive function among middle-aged and older Latinx adults; and (3) community-based and culturally informed health research among under-resourced communities. Collectively, these lines of research identify the social factors contributing to the distribution of illness and wellness at the population level, with an overarching goal of mitigating health disparities and promoting health equity.
