ABOUT THE AUTHORS
Oluwasola Banke-Thomas, MD, MPH, works in Public Health, Family Medicine, and Primary Care Medicine. Her research is focused on reproductive and maternal health for underserved and vulnerable populations. She worked with the Refugee Womens Health Clinic and ASUs Southwest Interdisciplinary Research Center leading data analysis on women survivors of war.
Andrea Bertotti is Associate Professor at Gonzaga University, where she also chairs the Sociology and Criminal Justice, and Solidarity and Social Justice Departments. Her research examines how medical sources construct definitions of reproductive risks and the implications of those constructions, including race, class, and gender disparities in contraceptive use.
Piet Bracke is Professor in the Sociology Department of Ghent University, Belgium. His research interests include gender issues and the sociology of the family, epidemiological sociology from a comparative perspective, mental health, and mental health services. He and his collaborators are eager to contribute to the further development of institutional theories of population (mental) health.
Celeste Campos-Castillo received her PhD in Sociology from the University of Iowa. She studies trust and technology, particularly in the context of health care interactions. Her current research examines how health information technology may either narrow or widen disparities in patientprovider communication.
L. F. Carver (MA Psychology; PhD Sociology) is Assistant Professor (Adjunct), Research Associate, and Post-doctoral Fellow at Queens University, Ontario. Primary research involves the experience of aging, examining impacts of gender, ethnicity, socioeconomic level, inequalities and social justice as well as wearable and assistive living technology using functional and privacy lenses.
Neetu Chawla, PhD, is Investigator at the Veterans Affairs of Greater Los Angeles. She is a cancer-focused health services researcher with expertise in cancer survivorship, quality of cancer care delivery, patient provider communication, care coordination and patient-reported outcomes.
Karen S. Cook is the Ray Lyman Wilbur Professor of Sociology and Director of the Institute for Research in the Social Sciences at Stanford. She is interested in networks and trust in social relations. In 2004, she received the ASA Cooley Mead Award for Career Contributions to Social Psychology.
