Dr Mills’ broad research objective is to reduce health inequities among vulnerable populations with a particular emphasis on people with HIV (PWH) suffering from psychiatric comorbidities. He has considerable expertise working towards this objective using multiple types of complex secondary data (“Big Data”) in conjunction with design, theory and advanced quantitative methodology (casual inference with observational data) from the fields of epidemiology and health services research. Currently, Dr. Mills plans to utilize “Big Data” in conjunction with state of art analytic methods to assess the uptake of evidence based practices in the treatment of trauma related psychiatric comorbidity in real world settings among PWH.
