Through graduate training in epidemiology studying non-communicable disease, I hope
to develop the necessary skills to be able to expand our understanding of population
health disparities in relation to social-political factors, availability, and access
of preventative health services. I hope to identify environmental, structural, social,
and spatial methods, and applications that affect population health and to use this
knowledge to develop culturally sensitive interventions to lessen disparities.
