Her research is on disease prevention and health promotion among people incarcerated. Her primary focus is on understanding, in partnership with communities, the health needs of those at the intersection of being Indigenous and incarcerated. She employs community based participatory research and epidemiologic methods to determine how culture, policy, and the social, structural, and Indigenous determinants of health in the correctional system can impact health, health behavior, and social justice. Her community partners include the Navajo Department of Corrections, the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office, and the Hualapai Tribe Juvenile and Adult Detention Centers.
