About Dr. Williams
Senior Affiliated Faculty & Consultants
Sharifa Z. Williams, MS, DrPH, joined the Bloustein School in September 2022. Her research interests include biostatistical methods applied to identifying and quantifying health disparities that arise from exposure to structural adversity (i.e., discrimination and socioeconomic disadvantage). This includes examining longitudinal trends in psychosocial exposures across the life course and how they interact with structural adversity to impact health and well-being. Another valued part of Shar’s scholarly work involves contributing to and advancing research and public health practice as a methodologic collaborator. In this role, she consults on the design and analytic plans for papers and projects, as well as grant applications.
