She has long held academic and research interests in health disparities informed by a social determinants framework. She was awarded a BA in Anthropology from Pomona College, a MPH. in Health Behavior and Health Education from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and a DrPH in Community-based and Translational Research from the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa. For the past seven years, Dr. Ing has coordinated several community-based participatory research (CBPR) projects at the Department of Native Hawaiian Health. Notable among these is the NIH-funded Partnerships to Improve Lifestyle Interventions (PILI) ‘Ohana Project, is a NIMHD-funded, CBPR initiative by the PILI ‘Ohana Partnership (POP) to address obesity and related disparities in Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Peoples. The POP developed and tested two culturally-congruent, community-placed, evidence-based health promotion programs and is currently working to disseminate these interventions to community-based organizations across the State. Additionally, Dr. Ing is working to build her research in the field of health disparities has several successfully funded pilot CBPR projects. These projects included testing the effectiveness of a semi-structured social support group in maintaining or improving diabetes management, a homestead health survey, and working to adapt the PILI ‘Ohana healthy lifestyle intervention for web-based delivery.
Her research training objectives are to: 1) improve her ability to conduct methodologically sound research; 2) develop an independent research program informed by a social determinants of health framework; and 3) translate research findings into effective, culturally appropriate multilevel health promotion programs. As she develops her career as an independent investigator, she hopes to continue utilized a community-based research approach in examining and addressing social determinants of health.
