Dr. Nazsa Baker earned her Ph.D. in Urban Systems with a concentration in Urban Health from Rutgers University, School of Nursing. Currently, she is a 2nd year postdoctoral fellow with the New Jersey Gun Violence Research Center at Rutgers University, School of Public Health. Her research focuses on community violence, with an emphasis on firearm violence survivorship, adverse lifespan health experiences among violently injured Black males and hospital-based violence intervention programs (HVIPs). She also examines the importance of culturally congruent quantitative health disparity screenings/questionnaires for Black populations. Dr. Baker is passionate about bringing the voices to those overlooked to the forefront in her research and she does this by employing qualitative methodologies. She uses qualitative methods to evaluate participant outcomes in hospital-based violence intervention programs.
