Brittney’s research investigates anti-Black structural racism as a risk factor for Pregnancy Induced Hypertensive Disorders (PIHDs) among Black women. During her fellowship, she built on her previous work by exploring neighborhood-level determinants, and incorporated new theoretical frameworks and empirical methods through didactic training and interdisciplinary faculty collaborations.
