I conduct statistical analyses of nationally representative survey data to identify health disparities alongside thematic analyses of interview data to reveal the processes underlying such disparities. My work focuses on recommending improvements to policy and clinical practice that will reduce disparities. I enjoy collaborating with colleagues from a variety of backgrounds to design and conduct research that addresses the needs of populations of interest.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/michelle-l-stransky\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LinkedIn<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/profile\/Michelle-Stransky\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ResearchGate<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmc.org\/center-urban-child-and-healthy-family\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Center for The Urban Child and Healthy Family<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Honors<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"row\" xmlns:fo=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/XSL\/Format\" xmlns:prns=\"http:\/\/profiles.catalyst.harvard.edu\/ontology\/prns#\" xmlns:rdf=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/02\/22-rdf-syntax-ns#\" xmlns:rdfs=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/01\/rdf-schema#\" xmlns:vivo=\"http:\/\/vivoweb.org\/ontology\/core#\">\n<div class=\"col-lg-12 col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12\"><strong>2017<\/strong>&#8211;<strong>2018<\/strong><span>\u00a0<\/span>Tufts University, Medford, MA: Lecturer Development Funds<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\" xmlns:fo=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/XSL\/Format\" xmlns:prns=\"http:\/\/profiles.catalyst.harvard.edu\/ontology\/prns#\" xmlns:rdf=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/02\/22-rdf-syntax-ns#\" xmlns:rdfs=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/01\/rdf-schema#\" xmlns:vivo=\"http:\/\/vivoweb.org\/ontology\/core#\">\n<div class=\"col-lg-12 col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12\"><strong>2015<\/strong><span>\u00a0<\/span>Academy Health Disability Research Interest Group: Student\/Post-Doc Award to Attend the 2015 Disability Research Interest Group Meeting<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\" xmlns:fo=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/XSL\/Format\" xmlns:prns=\"http:\/\/profiles.catalyst.harvard.edu\/ontology\/prns#\" xmlns:rdf=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/02\/22-rdf-syntax-ns#\" xmlns:rdfs=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/01\/rdf-schema#\" xmlns:vivo=\"http:\/\/vivoweb.org\/ontology\/core#\">\n<div class=\"col-lg-12 col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12\"><strong>2008<\/strong>&#8211;<strong>2009<\/strong><span>\u00a0<\/span>University of New Hampshire, Durham, NH: Graduate School Travel Grant<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\" xmlns:fo=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/XSL\/Format\" xmlns:prns=\"http:\/\/profiles.catalyst.harvard.edu\/ontology\/prns#\" xmlns:rdf=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/02\/22-rdf-syntax-ns#\" xmlns:rdfs=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/01\/rdf-schema#\" xmlns:vivo=\"http:\/\/vivoweb.org\/ontology\/core#\">\n<div class=\"col-lg-12 col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12\"><strong>2008<\/strong>University of New Hampshire, Durham, NH: Sociology Department Travel Grant<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>BUMC <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/camed\/profile\/michelle-stransky\/\">Profile<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":22217,"template":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cbr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/6325"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cbr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cbr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/profile"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cbr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/22217"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cbr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/6325\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6440,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cbr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/6325\/revisions\/6440"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cbr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6325"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
