She completed a fellowship in Global Women’s Health at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and has been on staff there since 2009.

    Optimizing Peer-Driven Interventions for High-Risk Patients in Low- and Middle-Income Countries
    Role Description: We are focusing on addressing one of the most significant health problems existing in sub-Saharan Africa – HIV. Despite expanded access to ART and a declining incidence of HIV infection, HIV remains at epidemic levels within the region. By building on our evidence-driven, peer-based, case-management model, we intend to redesign an optimal strategy for engaging with South Africans living with HIV who are not on treatment. Our short-term goal is to use sequential strategies to build on data collected from our qualitative process evaluation to synthesize, prototype, and refine our intervention. Our long-term goal is to target other chronic health conditions and decrease amenable mortality in low- and middle-income countries.

PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
