Paul A. Robbins studies how race, religion, and gender intersect to shape health and family outcomes in Black communities in the United States. His work examines topics such as depression, obesity, hypertension, and dementia risk in relation to religious denomination and church involvement, as well as father-son relationships and coping strategies among African American families. Much of this research draws on public health, psychology of religion, and developmental psychology perspectives.
