Research interests

Dr. Myroniuk’s public health research agenda is rooted in his formal training in sociology and demography but is also influenced by theoretical perspectives and empirical considerations from anthropology, economics, and medicine. His most recent public health work includes examinations of immunological outcomes, behavioral responses, and attitudes pertaining to the COVID-19 pandemic; marriage and mental health outcomes of older adults; understanding HIV stigma through community-based participatory research; quality improvement and precision health data considerations in medicine; work-family balance and self-rated health; and the links between social capital and mental and physical health. Dr. Myroniuk’s published work is set in Canada, Europe, India, Malawi, South Africa, India, and the U.S.
