More About Me
Hedy Lee is broadly interested in the social determinants and consequences of population health and health disparities, with a particular focus on race/ethnicity, poverty, race-related stress, cardiovascular disease risk factors, and the family. Hedy Lee’s research draws from multiple sources of data to investigate these relationships, including Add Health, BRFSS, Chicago Community Adult Health Study, NHANES, NHIS, the National Survey of American Life, and Twitter. Her recent work examines the impact of family member incarceration on the health and attitudes of family members, association between discrimination and mental and physical health, documenting trends in racial/ethnic health disparities, socioeconomic causes and consequences of obesity in childhood and adolescence, and using social media data for demographic, health and sociological research.
