Research Description
I am interested in identifying and preventing poor health outcome associated with violence against women. I am particularly focusing on the relationship between women’s experiences of violence and their increased risk for sexually transmitted infections. I am collaborating with women to identify strategies to increase their ability to protect their health while working with them on ending the violence in their lives.
