Capturing Racial/Ethnic Heterogeneity in Dietary Patterns
Description
In this episode, Early Career Editor Kevin C. Klatt, PhD, RD speaks with Briana Stephenson, PhD (she/her/hers), an Assistant Professor in the Departments of Biostatistics at the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health, about her recent publication, “Racial and ethnic heterogeneity in diets of low-income adult females in the United States: results from National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys from 2011 to 2018” in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Dr Stephenson discusses her research on robust profile clustering as an extension of latent class models to define dietary patterns in population subgroups, focusing in this analysis on low-income female adults to identify racial and ethnic differences in dietary patterns.
As Dr Stephenson noted (as of March 2022), she is currently recruiting a postdoc in Statistical Methods in Population Health Disparities research.
