My research is aimed at understanding the root causes of sleep health disparities and their impact on health outcomes by 1) addressing the social and environmental determinants of sleep disorders and insufficient sleep; and 2) investigating the influence of modifiable factors such as sleep disorders and disturbances on disparities in cardiovascular outcomes.
