My research interests are in health communication and its role in health promotion and education, both domestically and globally. My global work examines participatory health communication strategies among adolescent populations related to reproductive health, and health, media, and digital literacy. My domestic research examines how digital technologies and social media can develop health literacy skills among adolescent populations. I am also interested in exploring the application of behavioral economics to the field of health communication as well as leveraging new technologies for interactive health messaging.
