Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Trenesha L. Hill's research investigates the intersection of social determinants of health, parental experiences, and child development, with a particular focus on autism spectrum disorder and sickle cell disease. Her work examines how factors such as maternal anxiety during pregnancy can impact infant neurodevelopment, as evidenced by studies on functional connectivity to the amygdala. Hill also explores the influence of parental adverse childhood experiences on healthcare utilization among children with sickle cell disease and investigates Black mothers' perspectives on early childhood screening processes for autism.

Her research extends to understanding the experiences of Black autistic youth within the community, including their interactions with law enforcement and the guidance caregivers provide. Hill also studies the relationship between state-level autism resources and autism prevalence rates. Her collaborations include work with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, focusing on areas such as multimodal neuroimaging and neurocognitive assessments in adolescents with sickle cell disease, and exploring social determinants of health in pediatric long COVID.
