Dr. Amy Conroy is a behavioral scientist, whose research spans the fields of social psychology, anthropology, sociology, and public health. She received her PhD in Health and Behavioral Sciences and Masters of Public Health (MPH) from the University of Colorado Denver. Broadly, her research focuses on social and behavioral responses to HIV/AIDS services, particularly HIV testing and antiretroviral therapy, in sub-Saharan Africa. For her dissertation, she received a NRSA pre-doctoral fellowship from the NIMH to conduct a mixed-methods study on how relationship factors, particularly power, shape young people’s decisions to test for HIV and disclose results to their sexual partners in rural Malawi. These data were collected alongside a longitudinal couples study on AIDS and reproduction called Tsogolo La Thanzi (Chichewa for “Healthy Futures”) in southern Malawi. Tangential to her interests in power, Dr. Conroy’s research also examines the association between relationship factors and intimate partner violence using a dyadic perspective. Methodological interests include mixed methods approaches, actor-partner interdependence models (APIM), hierarchical linear modeling, and inductive qualitative approaches using focus group discussions and semi-structured couple interviews.
