Kathryn E. Lancaster's research focuses on drug use, HIV, and related health risks among people who inject drugs and other vulnerable populations, particularly in rural U.S. communities such as Appalachian Ohio, as well as some international settings like Vietnam, Malawi, and Thailand. Her work combines epidemiological analysis, survey research, and intervention studies to understand barriers to healthcare access, stigma, resilience, and strategies like naloxone distribution and syringe service programs that aim to reduce overdose deaths and improve HIV prevention among drug-using populations.
