Research interests

Dr. Martinez-Donate’s research interests include HIV prevention and tobacco control, with emphasis on Latino populations and health disparities reduction. Her work is characterized by the application of a behavioral ecological framework to the analysis of determinants of health-related behaviors and the development of intervention strategies at the population level. Currently, she is serving as Principal Investigator for a NIH-funded grant aimed at estimating the risk for HIV infection, identifying risk determinants, and examining health care access among Mexican migrants traveling through the San Diego – Tijuana border region. Dr. Martinez-Donate is also serving as Co-Principal Investigator for a collaborative study to design and test the effectiveness of a social marketing campaign to increase condom use and HIV testing among non-gay identified Latino men who have sex with men.
