Health Communication
Addressing health inequities and improving the health of underserved populations have always been at the forefront of Yonaira’s work. Her applied research explores the intersections of health communication, digital tech, and public health to understand role of digital media as a tool that educates and empowers Latino/a/x audiences. Yonaira focuses on effective, theory-driven health communication to understand how engagement with health (mis)information on digital platforms can impact health decisions, as well as how social media can be used to communicate with and mobilize communities.
