Dr. Allgood’s work broadly focuses on examining the social and policy environments that contribute to poor health in minoritized populations. Specifically, Dr. Allgood focuses on the measurement of structural racism, identifying the role of racism and health disparities, and understanding the causal mechanisms impacting those relationships. Allgood is currently building upon her dissertation research which focused housing and criminal justice domains of structural racism and vicarious experiences of structural racism due to the Flint Water Crisis and its association birth outcomes and cardiovascular health. Allgood aims to incorporate intersectionality into her research by examining the intersection of structural racism and structural sexism and health. Allgood’s projects are examining the components of structural racism measurement across the US, urban/rural disparities in COVID-19 related outcomes, and residential segregation and birth outcomes over 30 years.
