RESEARCH


Dr. Lodge’s research explores the intersections of HIV, substance use, and mental health, with a focus on how stigma, criminalization, and health system inequities shape outcomes for marginalized populations across domestic and global contexts. Grounded in behavioral and social sciences, his work seeks to illuminate and transform the structural conditions that drive health disparities. Using community-engaged approaches, he co-designs interventions that expand access to care, strengthen agency, and inform policies that advance health equity.
