Research Interests
- Dr. Osokpo's program of research aims to reduce health disparities, advance health equity, and mitigate adverse social determinants of health, with a particular focus on improving self-care and transitions of care for structurally vulnerable adult populations.
- He seeks to understand and address the multilevel barriers to health care—including sociocultural (e.g., language), economic, behavioral, and system (e.g., organizational)—that adversely impact the health and outcomes (e.g., ED visits and rehospitalizations) of structurally vulnerable adults living with chronic illnesses (e.g., heart failure).
- Dr. Osokpo's long-term goal is to advance interventional science to improve healthcare and outcomes of individuals living with complex health and social needs in the US, as well as policies to implement and sustain effective interventions.
