Biography

Dr. Oh is a tenured associate professor and the doctoral program director in the School of Nursing. She specializes in teaching nursing research methods and statistics courses. Dr. Oh was Inducted into the American Association of College of Nursing (AACN) Diversity Leadership Institute as a Fellow in 2022. She teaches primarily in the PhD program in the School of Nursing where she mentors students conducting doctoral dissertations. She has a strong research background and extensive experience in quantitative and mixed-methods research.

Her research has advanced from understanding health disparities and associated factors among vulnerable populations, such as Asian immigrants with limited English proficiency, to developing culturally sensitive strategies for enhanced access to health information and education programs. Her overarching research goal is to improve health outcomes by elevating health literacy and addressing linguistic and cultural needs.

Based on her previous research with the immigrant population, Dr. Oh advanced her program of research toward developing culturally sensitive health programs for Asian American immigrants, promoting health literacy, and enhancing health outcomes, particularly in cancer screening and smoking cessation. In collaborative interdisciplinary research, she co-designed a graphic, native-language text messaging intervention for smoking cessation in Chinese/Korean male immigrants, addressing low health literacy. Dr. Oh's ongoing research focuses on developing linguistically and culturally specific interventions, integrating advanced technology to provide targeted support for older immigrant families dealing with challenges with Alzheimer's and related dementia.
