Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Wen-Juo Lo's research investigates public attitudes and knowledge regarding abortion, particularly in the context of evolving legal landscapes and fetal development markers. Their work has examined the relationship between knowledge of Roe v. Wade and sentiment across political affiliations, as well as attitudes toward abortion legality based on fetal development. Recent publications also explore public knowledge of and attitudes toward abortion laws before and after the Dobbs v. Jackson decision, and attitudes toward fetal development-based abortion bans.

Beyond reproductive health, Lo also studies parental attitudes toward HPV vaccination, specifically investigating whether the COVID-19 experience has influenced these attitudes. This work is supported by a National Institutes of Health/National Cancer Institute grant for the "Hashtag HPV" project, which aims to engage parents through social media to increase HPV vaccination rates. Lo's research also includes methodological work on translation frameworks and questionnaire design for health research, as well as statistical modeling techniques such as Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM).

Lo has an h-index of 19 and has authored 95 publications, accumulating over 1,596 citations. They have collaborated extensively with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Ronna C. Turner, Elizabeth A. Keiffer, and Jennifer A. Reimers, as well as Larry Hill from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
