Research

My program of research on the health of HIV-infected populations is driven by this question, what factors affect medication adherence in HIV-infected patients? 

Another research interest area is lead poisoning prevention. Currently we are conducting a qualitative study to understand the factors that impact on families willingness to abate their homes of lead-based paint.
