Research Emphasis Areas

College of Nursing faculty are dedicated to advancing the growing body of nursing research. Our interdisciplinary teams focus on high-need areas that are at the heart of our researchers' commitment to the patients and communities we serve.

Health Promotion and Risk Reduction  

This core focuses on interventions and care strategies to promote health and reduce risk for individuals and populations across the lifespan. Our research focuses on disparities in breast cancer screening and epidemiology, high-risk teens and stress and anxiety management.

Vulnerable Populations

This core focuses on interventions and care strategies for at-risk populations to improve their health and well being. Our research addresses poverty and aging, violence and victimization, substance abuse, sexual orientation and gender identity, immigrant health and mental health problems in children.

Health Systems Research

We focus on processes and their effects on health care results. We examine emergency preparedness, evaluate the health care workforce and leadership, and study the impact of new tools and techniques in clinics and practices.
