Patrick Alan-David Wilson

Assistant Professor of Sociomedical Sciences,  Mailman School of Public Health


Patrick Wilson, PhD uses the field of psychology to explore health-related behaviors and effective strategies for intervention in at-risk populations. Due to an interest in the use of innovative research and analytical methodologies that cut across his fields of research, Dr. Wilson's work examines the psychological, sociological, and environmental factors that may be related to heightened HIV/AIDS incidence in ethnic and sexual minority populations. His research falls into three broad topic areas including the roles of social networks, discrimination, and ethnic and sexual identity in predicting risk-behavior among ethnic minority men having sex with men (MSM), situational factors that may promote or prevent risk-taking and depression among MSM, and community-focused research, collaboration, and intervention. With the lack of prevention-related research examining ethnic minority populations and effective interventions designed for these communities, the goal of Dr. Wilson's work is to inform research and intervention efforts by examining the intrapersonal and social-contextual factors that may place minorities at greater risk for HIV and sexually transmitted infections, and poor mental health.
