Kathryn E. Lancaster

Kathryn E. Lancaster's research focuses on HIV and substance use, particularly among people who inject drugs and other vulnerable populations in both rural U.S. settings (e.g., Appalachia) and international contexts like Malawi and Vietnam. Her work examines HIV prevention and treatment access, mental health (depression, anxiety), stigma, and the intersection of drug use and infectious disease, often using surveys, clinical trial preference studies, and phylogenetic/geospatial analysis. Much of this research aims to identify barriers to care and inform intervention design for underserved groups.

Publication output has fluctuated but shown a generally high and slightly increasing pace in recent years, with 2023-2025 among the most productive years of the past decade.
