Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Alexia Angton's research focuses on the long-term health consequences of involvement with the U.S. criminal justice system and school disciplinary actions. Her work examines how experiences such as school suspension and probation impact self-rated health and chronic conditions over time, particularly for adolescents and young adults. Angton also investigates the disproportionate impact of these disciplinary measures on students of color, exploring factors like school bonding as potential protective mechanisms. Her publications have addressed the racial/ethnic disparities in health outcomes stemming from justice system contact and the role of school discipline in shaping health trajectories from adolescence into midlife. She has collaborated with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville on multiple publications, including work with Michael Niño, Meredith Zhang, Shauna A. Morimoto, and Kayla Allison.
