Research Interests:
1. Establishment of community African American cardiovascular disease prevention and screening program targeting the individual’s understanding, attitude, behavior, and motivation towards health control.
2. Bridging Scientific Disciplines through Student Educational Tools: Evaluation by Survey Methodology of Individual Mindset as a Means of Hypertension Control
3. Evaluation by questionnaire of patient inertia factors (including reading ability, emotional and psychological health, and barriers to health care) which contribute to the lack of hypertension control
