OverviewAI-generated summary
Michael Niño's research focuses on understanding the social and demographic factors influencing health behaviors and outcomes, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. His work has investigated how race, ethnicity, gender, and age shape perceptions of threat and fear related to COVID-19, as well as adherence to public health measures such as mask-wearing. He has also examined the trajectories of COVID-19 vaccine intentions across different racial and ethnic groups in the United States.
Niño's research also extends to adolescent health, including studies on social isolation, drunkenness, and cigarette use. His work has explored developmental life course approaches, such as the timing of parental incarceration and its impact on allostatic load. Further, he has investigated issues related to chronic homelessness and the social characteristics associated with it, as well as the role of familism and immigrant status in the Hispanic health advantage.
He is a co-principal investigator on an NSF-funded REU Site grant focused on connecting research to practice in crime analytics, totaling $343,163. Niño has a h-index of 11 with 40 total publications and 706 citations. He collaborates frequently with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Kevin M. Fitzpatrick, Grant R. Drawve, Alexia Angton, and Kayla Allison.
