Burke Health & Wellness Lab

The Burke Health & Wellness Lab is directed by Natasha L. Burke, PhD at Fordham University in the Bronx borough of New York City. Our lab conducts research on eating and weight-related issues in typically underserved communities. Our work focuses on measurement, models, and interventions to reduce inequities and health disparities in marginalized populations. We have specific expertise with those from racial/ethnic minoritized backgrounds; those from lower socioeconomic status backgrounds; intersections of identity; and children, adolescents, and emerging adults. Our overall goal is to shine a light on those typically underrepresented and underserved in research and clinical care towards improving equity and health outcomes.
