Most of my research has been in the area of HIV/AIDS including: HIV clinical trials; HIV amongst the elderly; and the prison population. I serve on a number of boards for community based organizations, and also serve as a specialist for the following areas:

  1. Health disparities amongst minorities.
  2. Special needs for the elderly.
  3. Health Management and Administration.
Currently I am engaged in health care policies focusing on permanent housing for single HIV infected mothers and their children; elderly persons; and patients released from correctional facilities.
