Lindsey Filiatreau is an epidemiologist with expertise in leading HIV and mental health research in resource-constrained settings. Her overarching goal is to ensure equitable short- and long-term physical and mental health outcomes among people living with — or at heightened risk for — HIV.
Filiatreau uses novel epidemiologic and implementation science methods to quantify disparities in mental health, substance use, and HIV treatment outcomes. She aims to minimize these disparities through the identification and scale-up of culturally relevant, evidence-based interventions in close collaboration with her community partners.
A majority of Filiatreau’s research has been conducted in the Global South, including in South Africa, Cameroon, Uganda, Kenya and Malawi, but a growing body of her work aims to apply what she has learned in these settings to explore and improve outcomes in rural settings across the U.S.
