Her knowledge and skills is in designing (using qualitative methods) and evaluating health promotion interventions across a variety of behaviors with and without the use of information technology. She has worked with populations facing health disparities, in particular blue-collar workers and non-traditional college students (who are more likely to be from lower-income families and be from racial/ethnic minority groups compared to traditional college students). Her goal is to effectively design, implement, and evaluate computer-assisted approaches for behavioral risk reduction for the primary prevention of chronic diseases in multiple populations that face health disparities, in particular racial/ethnic minority groups.
