Aaron Murnan studies how social and legal systems intersect with health, focusing on populations affected by substance use, sex trafficking, incarceration, and pregnancy-related opioid use disorder. This work often examines discrimination in healthcare, disparities in criminal-legal system involvement, and the use of health records and data to identify and support vulnerable groups such as mothers, children, and survivors of sex trafficking. Prospective students would likely engage with mixed-methods and health-services research connecting criminal justice, addiction treatment, and maternal-child health.
