Our Research

The goal of our research is health promotion and disease prevention.  Our research focuses on a wide variety of topics including HIV prevention, drug abuse, social networks, informal caregiving, urban health, overdose prevention, peer education, chronic diseases, and neighborhood effects.  Our projects have been conducted in both U.S. and international settings.
