Research/Clinical Interests:

Miranda Hill is a social and behavioral scientist committed to improving HIV, reproductive health, and chronic disease outcomes among populations that experience disproportionately poorer health. She uses both qualitative and quantitative social network analysis to examine how structural factors and interpersonal relationships influence HIV prevention and care, particularly among women. Her current research focuses on the health and well-being of women who relocate within the United States, with an emphasis on the intersections of social networks, behavioral health outcomes, and access to care.
