Her work at SAC involved a multi-phase research initiative on Long COVID and Mpox. With a primary focus on MENA-region populations, the project began with a social media–based educational campaign, where the team created and shared evidence-based infographics, analyzed post engagement & analytics, and presented findings at a scientific event in Michigan. Following this, she led the development of a subsequent pilot study, after obtaining IRB approval and coordinated a cross-country qualitative investigation across India, the United States, and China. This study has been submitted to a peer-reviewed journal and is currently under review.

The project identified key gaps in awareness and understanding of Long COVID and Mpox among young adults. Differences in disease perception, access to information, and healthcare-seeking behaviors were observed across regions, highlighting the need for improved health education and communication.

The primary focus of this project was to support more targeted, culturally informed health education strategies by examining how knowledge, perceptions, and barriers to care vary across diverse populations.
