My long-term goal is to develop a program of research that describes these global high-risk, marginalized populations to inform integrated interventions and programs development, and finally evaluation of programs to improve impact and efficacy. These integrated programs with interventions spanning mental health, substance use, education, infectious disease, sexual health, stigma, and nutrition are evaluated with equally complex statistical methodologies and theoretical frameworks. Evaluative study designs are mixed methods (quantitative and qualitative) and geared towards improving implementation, they utilize cost-effectiveness analysis, hierarchical linear modeling, multivariate logistic regression and integration of different data. I want to develop innovative and cost-effective solutions leveraging existing infrastructure to address these high-burden, at risk groups. I am committed to my academic training, clinical praxis and research experience to achieve my long-term career goals.
