I am interested in maternal and child health issues, particularly in the areas of HIV/AIDS. I am particularly interested in the experience of stigma and discrimination among women and children living with HIV/AIDS in developing countries. I am also interested in developing innovative mechanisms in which to translate health services research into policy.
