Zoé Hendrickson (she/her/hers) has more than ten years of experience conducting applied, community engaged, mixed methods research to improve people’s health and well-being in the United States and globally.
Zoé is a social and behavioral scientist whose research centers on how social structures and inequalities are implicated in everyday experiences of health and how people, particularly structurally marginalized populations, seek care. Her contributions to science have focused on 1) the role of geographic mobility in people’s access to care, the environments in which they live and work, and their healthcare utilization; 2) the impact of other social determinants of health, including gender inequity, on people’s health outcomes; and 3) the innovative use of participatory and qualitative and mixed methods research methodologies to improve health research and practice.
Zoé has served as the principal investigator on numerous social and behavior change interventions in Baltimore as well as in West, Central, and East Africa and South Asia designed to improve access to and utilization of sexual and reproductive healthcare, maternal healthcare, and HIV prevention and treatment. She has built collaborations and formed partnerships between researchers, health facilities, and health departments locally and globally to integrate capacity strengthening with rigorous research, program implementation, and evaluation.
In her spare time, she likes to cuddle/walk/run/hike with her two dogs, enjoys time in her garden, and tries to channel her Dad’s artistic talents by drawing and painting.
