Katelyn Marie Holliday

Assistant Professor in Family Medicine and Community Health
Family Medicine and Community Health
2200 West Main Street, Suite 600 Room 625, Durham, NC 27705

Overview


My research interests encompass understanding how natural/built environments and social factors interact to influence health and health behaviors, with a focus on the role of geospatial factors and health disparities in these relationships. In particular, I am concerned with primordial prevention and the ways in which the natural, built, and social environments can be shaped to positively influence health and health behavior. I have applied these research interests in studying a variety of health outcomes including physical activity, cardiovascular disease, and deaths of despair.
