I am interested in Arab American health and cancer disparities. I have been working with Dr. Leigh Pearce on SAHA-HPV, a community based cervical cancer prevalence and self-sampling acceptability study in Dearborn, MI with ACCESS. I have also been involved in a number of projects related to ovarian cancer risk and survivorship.
