She has conducted community-based research in the Dominican Republic since the mid 1990s, and has also worked throughout Latin America and the Spanish-speaking Caribbean. The current focus of her research is the study of how the social environment influences health and health behaviors, using both qualitative and quantitative methods. Past research has examined the influence of social network norms on sexual behavior among the male clients of female sex workers in La Romana, Dominican Republic. Recently, she has started to develop research projects with Latinos in North Carolina to improve understanding of HIV vulnerability and the lived experience of HIV/AIDS in the context of migration.
