OverviewAI-generated summary
Kanna N. Lewis, Assistant Professor in Family and Preventive Medicine at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, studies health disparities and outcomes, particularly concerning maternal and infant health, adverse childhood experiences, and healthcare utilization. Her research has examined the impact of insurance type on preventive health care access and inequities in telehealth use during the COVID-19 pandemic. Lewis has investigated the association between adverse childhood experiences and healthcare utilization, as well as the protective effects of positive childhood experiences on emotional and behavioral health. Her work also includes studies on SARS-CoV-2 incidence in school districts with varying mask policies and the effects of state-level abortion bans on maternal and infant outcomes. Lewis collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Lorraine McKelvey, Anthony Goudie, Laura E. Gressler, and Leanne Whiteside-Mansell.
