Research Interests

Dr. Brown works to identify and address systemic racism embedded in population health research, policy, and practice. Her current research does this by examining relationships between food assistance program implementation and health-related outcomes among underresourced communities of color. For her dissertation, Meagan studied how varying social-ecological contextual factors such as employee race/ethnicity, workplace characteristics, and broader social and political influences may impact the success of workplace health promotion programs for small businesses in low-wage industries.
