PhuongThao Le, PhD, MPH, is Assistant Professor of Community Health Sciences at Boston University School of Public Health. Her research focuses on examining mental health and sociocultural issues to inform the design, implementation, and evaluation of health programs and policies among marginalized populations globally. She has worked on several NIH- and foundation-funded projects on topics such as cancer health disparities, human trafficking, migration, maternal and child health, and evidence-based mental health interventions in low- and middle-income countries. She is currently PI of a K01 Fogarty/NIH-funded study to adapt and pilot a group-based stress management intervention among breast and gynecologic cancer patients in Viet Nam and co-I in several NIH-funded projects on mental health and implementation science capacity building.
