Mira L. Katz studies how people make decisions about cancer screening and vaccination, including willingness to accept new tests like HPV self-collection, multicancer detection tests, and combined flu/COVID-19 vaccines. Her work often examines communication between patients and healthcare providers, and includes attention to racial and ethnic disparities in health knowledge and screening participation, particularly among African American and other underrepresented communities.
