OverviewAI-generated summary

Michael Niño's research investigates the intersection of social determinants, adverse childhood experiences, and health outcomes, with a particular focus on racial and ethnic minority populations. His work examines how factors such as race, ethnicity, gender, and citizenship status influence health behaviors, mental health, and overall well-being.

Recent publications by Niño and collaborators address the long-term consequences of school disciplinary actions on depressive symptoms, the relationship between poverty, material hardship, and telomere length in children, and the impact of perceived racial/ethnic discrimination on the health of immigrant young adults. He has also studied adherence to public health measures like mask-wearing during the COVID-19 pandemic, exploring how these behaviors are shaped by demographic factors. His research utilizes latent class analysis and other statistical methods to identify patterns and understand complex relationships within health data.

Niño is a Co-Principal Investigator on an NSF-funded REU Site grant totaling $343,163, focused on connecting research to practice in crime analytics. He has a scholarly record indicated by an h-index of 11 and 664 total citations across 38 publications. His collaborations include work with Kevin M.
