Roxana E Delgado, PhD, MS

Professor

I am a health scientist and epidemiologist focusing on military and veteran research, especially family caregivers of wounded, ill, and injured Veterans. For the past fifteen years, my work explored the psychosocial determinants of health and health outcomes in Veterans with complex comorbidity. In recent years I developed the “Military and Veteran Caregiver Research Portfolio” studying the health and well-being of military families and caregivers of wounded, ill, and injured military personnel and Veterans, with an emphasis on the trajectory of health, the delivery of care in complex and large healthcare systems. As a health scientist and epidemiologist, I have worked with healthcare systems, nonprofit organizations, and community leaders to conduct studies that may impact the military and the nation's healthcare and social policies. My experience as the wife of a combat wounded Veteran has informed my work and allowed me to be an insider in the community I work with.
