Speaker

Deshira D. Wallace, PhD, MSPH
Assistant Professor
Department of Health Behavior
UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health

Wallace's research is focused on examining the effects of structural and psychosocial stressors on cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes prevention and management among US Latines and in Latin America. Further, she uses an intersectionality framework to examine risk factors, coping behaviors, and chronic health outcomes, particularly among Latines and Latin Americans of African descent in an aim to further unpack health inequities within the Latine and Latin American population.

She employs both qualitative and quantitative methods. Qualitative methods include in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and cognitive interviews. Quantitative methods employed are primarily factor analysis and analyses using structural equation modeling techniques.
