Health Equity Leadership Series - Prioritizing and Evaluating Care for Adults with Autism
Dr. Christina Nicolaidis, MD, MPH
Dr. Nicolaidis practices and teaches hospital-based internal medicine at Oregon Health and Science University and serves as a Professor in the School of Social Work at Portland State University. Most of her research uses participatory approaches to improve the health and healthcare of marginalized populations, including autistic adults, people with other disabilities, racial and ethnic minorities, people with substance use disorders or chronic pain, and trauma survivors.
She is the co-founder and co-director of the Academic Autism Spectrum Partnership in Research and Education (AASPIRE), an international academic-community partnership that uses community based participatory research to address the priorities of autistic adults. She has led a series of National Institute of Health (NIH)-funded AASPIRE studies on healthcare for autistic adults and has created the AASPIRE Healthcare Toolkit for use in primary care settings. She is currently leading a large NIH-funded AASPIRE R01 project to develop the AutPROM Toolbox, a set of patient-reported outcome measures to evaluate services for autistic adults. She also is the founding Editor-in-Chief of a new peer-reviewed journal, Autism in Adulthood and directs the Social Determinants of Health Initiative at Portland State University.
The Health Equity Leadership Series is a speaker series hosted by the University of Michigan School of Nursing that welcomes leaders in the fields of nursing and healthcare to share their expertise and engage members of the UM community in critical thinking, learning, and dialogue about topics in health equity. Our goal is to expose UM faculty, staff, students, and alumni to some of the most pressing and relevant topics in health equity and nursing. Attendees will be challenged to learn, unlearn, and expand upon their own views while also networking with leaders who have a demonstrated commitment to advancing equity in healthcare.
We'll begin with Dr. Jamal-Eddine's presentation and end with Q&A.
