The overarching aim of my work is to reduce health disparities among disenfranchised and underserved populations by utilizing my research to inform culturally-tailored interventions and ultimately improve health outcomes among these populations. To this end, my research is dedicated to investigating the effects of HIV, aging, substance use, and substance use treatment on the brain, functional outcomes, and health disparities - particularly among U.S. Latina/o and Afro-Caribbean populations.
