Dr. Burrows studies the impacts of climate change on human health and wellbeing. She is trained in mixed methods approaches that use a combination of qualitative interviews and larger data analyses to investigate how climate and weather-related extremes impact individual and community health. Her interdisciplinary training in environmental epidemiology (PhD, Yale University School of the Environment) and social-behavioral sciences (MPH, Columbia University, Mailman School of Public Health) allows her to investigate global health issues from a unique perspective, incorporating sociocultural determinants of health and environmental exposures. As a postdoctoral fellow at Brown University, Dr. Burrows evaluated the short- and long-term impacts of hurricanes on a range of health outcomes, including cardiovascular and respiratory hospitalizations and disability. Her current research focuses on the mental health impacts of extreme temperatures.
