Research Interests
Dr. Rosen’s research program focuses on applying clinical psychological science to develop interventions that decrease racial/cultural bias and existent health disparities. His published works have focused on multicultural psychology, social justice in mental health, American Jewish identity, and the experiences of individuals with disabilities. His interests extend to the areas of health psychology and behavioral medicine, and the integration of psychology into a model of whole-person healthcare delivery.
The aim of his current research is to develop and evaluate a clinical workshop-style intervention to promote culturally responsive clinical care. The project is part of a larger body of research seeking to dismantle racial health inequities and disparities.
