Research Summary

 

Dr. Yim's research aims to better understand biopsychological mechanisms linking stress and health, in particular women's and minority health. Within this broader framework, she is particularly interested in how stress-related biological and psychosocial changes throughout pregnancy affect maternal mental health after delivery. A second line of research aims to understand how cultural differences can put individuals at risk or be protective in terms of their health.
