Dr. Poudel-Tandukar’s research focuses on identifying socio-cultural factors that increase stress among immigrant families and developing effective community-based strategies to address these factors. During the three year grant, along with her team, she will seek to implement family-based, culturally-tailored intervention with the goal of creating and implementing strategies to positively impact the mental health of immigrants and their families as well as empowering the communities supporting them to take a leading role in this effort.
