About
How can communication interventions improve decision-making in digital information environments?
My research examines how communication strategies shape health decision-making in digital environments. Through experiments, surveys, and computational methods, I develop and evaluate communication interventions that address misinformation and promote preventive health behaviors. As communication increasingly takes place in digital environments, understanding how people make health decisions has become an important challenge for communication researchers and public health practitioners.
