Dr. Elizabeth Muñoz’s research activities center on identifying early and modifiable predictors of adult cognitive health outcomes with a focus on addressing racial-ethnic inequities. Her three active lines of investigation include: 1) the links and mechanisms between psychological, social, and environmental stress on cognitive functioning across the lifespan; 2) examinations of salient sources of stress and their links with cognitive function among Latinx adults; 3) applying a within-population lens to evaluate associations between social and ethnicity-related sources of stress on cognitive function in Mexican-origin adults. She employs a variety of research designs to address her research questions, including longitudinal studies across years of assessments, ecological momentary assessments, and their integration (e.g., measurement-burst designs).
