Britni L. Ayers' research focuses on understanding and addressing health disparities, particularly among the Marshallese population in the United States and the Republic of the Marshall Islands. She is the Principal Investigator on a $229,500 grant from the National Institutes of Health/National Institute of Nursing Research, which aims to explore the preliminary efficacy of Centering Pregnancy with Care Navigation in reducing maternal health disparities for Marshallese women.
Her work also investigates the perspectives of Marshallese mothers and maternal health care providers regarding structural and socio-cultural barriers to prenatal care. Additionally, Ayers is studying family model diabetes self-management education and support within faith-based organizations in the Republic of the Marshall Islands and examining Marshallese infant feeding beliefs and experiences in the United States through a mixed-methods longitudinal study protocol. She maintains an active lab website and has collaborated with researchers from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
