Research Interests
Dafna’s research is interdisciplinary. Her focus is primarily on HIV prevention and treatment adherence using evidence-based mobile technologies. She is particularly interested in community-involved research techniques and implementation science to improve interventions for historically excluded populations such as Black, Latinx, Indigenous, and LGBTQ+ populations. She is also interested in substance use disorder treatment in HIV primary care settings.
