Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Jaimi L. Allen's research focuses on understanding health disparities and the impact of various factors on health outcomes, particularly within cancer patient populations and underserved communities. Her work investigates the role of physical activity in mitigating employment disparities following breast cancer treatment, an area for which she received $126,501 in funding from the NIH/National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities as PI. Allen also examines cancer burdens in areas of persistent poverty and explores employment status and adherence to physical activity guidelines among cancer survivors using national health survey data. Her research extends to understanding health status disparities and behaviors, including vaccine acceptance in rural areas and seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 among college students. She collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Kelsey M. Owsley, Mark L. Williams, Leanna Delhey, and Christina Joshua, with whom she has co-authored multiple publications.

Further contributing to the study of health disparities, Allen's work includes an analysis of cancer and all-cause mortality among union poultry workers in the United States. She also investigates physical activity as a mediator for health outcomes among sexual minority adults. Her publications demonstrate a commitment to analyzing health issues through various lenses, including retrospective studies and scoping reviews, aiming to identify gaps and opportunities for future research and interventions. Allen leads a research group and has a publication record that includes studies on COVID-19, health status disparities, and cancer.
