Lindsey is a Postdoctoral Scholar in the LEAD Global Training Program at Washington University in St. Louis.  Before joining the WashU team, Lindsey completed her doctoral training in epidemiology at UNC-Chapel Hill where she was awarded a UJMT Fogarty Global Health Fellowship to explore the relationship between mental health and HIV treatment outcomes among youth living with HIV in rural South Africa. Lindsey’s current research centers on quantifying disparities in mental health, substance use, and HIV treatment outcomes among people living with HIV globally and minimizing these disparities through effective identification and scale-up of culturally-relevant, evidence-based interventions. Her overarching goal is to ensure equitable short- and long-term physical and mental health outcomes among people living with- or at heightened risk for- HIV in resource-constrained settings.
