Dr. Uchechi Mitchell
Dr. Uchechi A. Mitchell is an Associate Professor at the University of Illinois Chicago’s School of Public Health in the Division of Community Health Sciences. She is a health disparities and minority aging researcher who addresses questions at the intersection of population and biopsychosocial sciences. She uses data from large national surveys of older adults to investigate pathways leading to late life racial/ethnic disparities in psychosocial outcomes, biomarkers, and supportive resources. A central theme throughout her research is an interest in the ways in which individual and community-level stressors and coping processes shape health over the life course and contribute to our understanding of risk, resilience and protective factors among older African Americans, specifically.
