We welcome a new faculty member to the Department of Health Services, Dr. Barbara Baquero, who will be collaborating with the Latino Center for Health in her research activities. Dr. Baquero is committed towards reducing health disparities and advancing health equity among underserved populations–particularly Latinx living in urban and rural communities in the US–with an emphasis on promoting active lifestyles and healthy diets. She does this by designing and implementing effective community-based interventions through community-based participatory research (CBPR), behavior change intervention research, and implementation science.
