Dr. Nguyen-Rodriguez's research interests lie in improving health outcomes for minority populations, based on the principles of health psychology. She believes that to attain healthy outcomes, peoples' minds and bodies must both be addressed. Thus, she employs transdisciplinary approaches in her efforts to provide holistic health intervention to those most in need, with the aim of achieving health equity for all. Her research focuses on psychosocial (e.g., stress) and cultural (e.g., values) predictors of health behaviors (such as diet and sleep) and outcomes (e.g., well-being, obesity) among minority populations.
