About Christopher Jesus Gonzalez, M.D.
Dr. Gonzalez’s research aims to understand and leverage social and culturalbehaviors to improve the health of diverse Hispanic populations in the United States. Through ongoing collaborations with investigators of the national Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (SOL), the Duke Network Analysis Center (DNAC), and New York Regional Center for Diabetes Translation Research (NY-CDTR), he has explored the heterogeneity of health behaviors andhealth outcomes of the Hispanic population, with a specific focus on understanding the roles of migration, acculturation and social networks. His research predominantly assesses how these factors relate to inequities in cardiometabolic health, including obesity and diabetes prevention, but has alsoassessed their relation to COVID-19 and Hepatitis C. Dr. Gonzalez is funded by the National Institute for the Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, and his research is informed by his practice of primary care in a federally qualified health center in a predominantly Hispanic community in New York City.
