Professional Summary:

Dr. Campbell is an Associate Professor of Medicine at the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at the University at Buffalo. Dr. Campbell holds an MPH in community health education and a PhD in Public Health, with doctoral training in health services research. Dr. Campbell is also a trained implementation scientist. Over the course of her training she has developed expertise in community and public health, health services research, qualitative and mixed methods research, and implementation science. In addition, she has expertise in stakeholder engagement, facilitating structured interviews and focus groups, conducting document analysis, and using Delphi techniques to operationalize phenomena as they occur through the lived experience, and identifying evidence-based approaches to inform behavioral interventions and policy development. Her research to date has focused on four broad area: 1) developing and implementing interventions that address existing health disparities in type 2 diabetes across the individual, community, and health systems; 2) understanding the role of structural factors that impact individual health indices, health systems, and population health; 3) evaluating the role of multidimensional adversity in diabetes clinical outcomes and patient reported outcomes, with a specific focus on the role of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs); and 4) understanding the impact of social determinants of health on health outcomes among marginalized populations and communities in the US and globally. Dr. Campbell is developing expertise in behavioral economics as her NIH K01 funding is focused on interventions that use universal basic income principles, specifically the use of conditional and unconditional cash transfers to address structural barriers of poverty to promote health at the individual level for adults with type 2 diabetes living within distressed urban environments. In summary, Dr. Campbell's approach to these areas is founded in team science where she applies her methodological and content expertise to eliminate health disparities by identifying structural barriers contributing to health disparities and to develop interventions and programs to promote health equity at the population level. She currently serves as Co-Investigator on 3 NIH R01s where she provides methodological expertise for implementation science and mixed methods study design and analysis.
