Research Overview

Dr. Kohler’s interdisciplinary research is focused on developing and implementing interventions to address social, behavioral, and structural determinants of cancer disparities. Currently, her work evaluates interventions to improve human papillomavirus (HPV)-related cancer control in racial/ethnic minorities and socially vulnerable populations. Much of Dr. Kohler’s work uses both qualitative and quantitative methods to ensure community voices are reflected in research projects spanning community outreach, primary care, and oncology services.

Coming Together to Support a Clinical Trial Exploring COVID-19

At present there is no standard antiviral therapy approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of people with COVID-19 (coronavirus).

Telemedicine or telehealth refers to the practice of caring for patients remotely when the provider and patient are not physically present with each other. Modern technology now allows doctors to seamlessly meet with patients by using stable, secure, and interactive video-conferencing platforms.
