Turning Health Data Into
Evidence for Prevention
Henry Lubega’s research interests sit at the intersection of clinical care, epidemiology, chronic disease, health disparities, healthcare access, and population health. His research approach is informed by clinical experience and a broader interest in understanding the factors that influence health outcomes across individuals and communities. The goal is simple: generate meaningful evidence that can inform prevention, improve healthcare delivery, and strengthen population health.
Current Doctoral Research
Obesity as a Potential Predictor of Overdose Among Individuals With Opioid Use Disorder
Henry’s current doctoral research examines the potential relationship between obesity and overdose among individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD).
The research is situated within the broader challenge of understanding risk factors associated with overdose and identifying evidence that may contribute to improved prevention strategies.
By examining the relationship between obesity and overdose risk, the research seeks to contribute to a more nuanced understanding of health characteristics that may be relevant when assessing risk among individuals affected by opioid use disorder.
