She has previously researched the association between skin shade and hypertension among African-Americans as well as the birth outcomes of 1st generation Mexican immigrants in North Carolina. As a Robert Wood Johnson Health and Society Scholar, Tiffany will continue her research into the economic determinants of childhood asthma.
