Kierra S. Barnett

Kierra S. Barnett studies how social and structural conditions—such as housing instability, evictions, racism, and neighborhood environments—shape health outcomes, with particular attention to maternal, infant, and child health and racial health disparities. Much of the work combines public health and pediatric research to examine how policies and community-level factors like housing, discrimination, and access to care affect vulnerable populations, especially communities of color.

Publication output has been variable but has increased notably in the last two years (2024-2025), following a quieter period around 2019 and 2023, with an average of about 2 publications per year over the last 5 years.
