To continue and expand her research into the Metro DC area, in 2021 Dr. Ma'at stepped down as Executive Director of CAAHDER to assume the position as Principal Health Research Consultant in order to bridge CAAHDER’s critical work with her new role as Faculty at George Mason University.

Current Research

Through multidisciplinary lenses, Dr. Ma’at seeks understanding of how structural racism and discrimination impacts how medically-underserved populations construct, communicate, and understand the concept of health. This work also involves examining how these social institutions propagate social constructions of Black health that reify stereotypes/racism and how they enforce structural inequities through practices, policies, and privileged belief systems. Understanding the confluence of health inequities, and how these factors collectively function to impact health decision making, chronic disease risk, and health behaviors (i.e., cardiovascular health, reproductive health, nicotine addiction, and mental health) is crucial to the dissemination and implementation of promising or evidence-based interventions. This research is essential because, while the investigation of health disparities and the social determinants is crucial, structural inequities are the source of these observed disparities. Thus, continued efforts in deciphering how to measure their impact on health and their contributions to health inequities are critical.

Inequities are created when barriers prevent individuals and communities from accessing the conditions to reach their full health potential. This line is inquiry encompasses a community-driven participatory approach. Disenfranchised, medically underserved translate their experiences through projects that assert individual and community agency in communicating meanings of health, and co-constructing health challenges/solutions. They also participate in the development of deep structure interventions that not only considers the intersectionality of identities and facilitates tailored knowledge of chronic disease and illness but also increases structural competency to resist the impact inequities on individual, community, and population health.

All Dr. Ma'at research is tied to above approach and Black Feminist Theory. Her current projects include

  • Health policy research addressing the intersections of identifying as Black and transgender 
  • Analyzing epidemiological NHANES trend data of insomnia and cardiovascular disease as well as perinatal and postpartum depression among Black women.
  • Developing a cardiovascular health intervention to reduce race-related stressors among Black women.
  • Partnering on a Denver-based social marketing campaigns to decrease COVID-19 vaccination hesitancy and increase vaccine uptake among African Americans via social media and a cultural healing intervention focused on Melanin education and personal power to enhance critical consciousness among Blacks and Black women in particular.
  • Developing a national social media heart health intervention targeting Black American women 
  • In collaboration with faculty at UPenn is working on a study on the impacts on racism on perinatal Black American women and birth outcomes.
