| Dr. Ana Abraido-Lanza's research focuses on cultural, psychosocial, and socioeconomic processes that affect psychological well-being, adjustment to chronic illness, and mortality among Latinos, as well as health disparities between Latinos and non-Latino whites. Her current research projects include the study of acculturation and cancer-related behaviors among Latinos, as well as coping and psychosocial adjustment and socioeconomic status and disability among Latinos with arthritis. Her work on cancer screening among Latina women examines the extent to which socioeconomic factors and quality of health care predict breast and cervical cancer screening among Latinas vs. non-Latina whites. Dr. Abraido-Lanza serves as the director of the Initiative for Minority Student Development (IMSD) at the Mailman School, an education project aimed at increasing the number of under-represented students who enter research careers in public health.
