Health Equity/Research Interest

My past research focused on health disparity among older adults who enters NYC emergency room within the five borough abusing drugs and alcohol during 2010 and 2012. Current research focus is based on working with faith based organization such as Elim Restoration Church of GOD in Brooklyn, New York to aide in alleviate or reduce health care disparity among people of color in undeserved area of East Flatbush. The focus will be on education , prevention, training, testing, tracing and psychosocial support with this undeserved population.
