Research Interests

Dr. Carabali’s current research on racial and socioeconomic inequalities includes:

(1) assessing the effect of underreporting and misclassification of the outcome, socioeconomic exposures, and the racial and ethnic groups in infectious diseases;

(2) the expansion of statistical methods for the study and understanding of intersectionality in different health outcomes; and

(3) the integrating qualitative/mixed-methods in empirical analysis of the intersectional effects of racism and discrimination.

Dr. Carabali obtained her medical degree from the Universidad Libre in Colombia and her PhD in epidemiology from McGill University, Canada. She did her postdoctoral training at the Social Epidemiology Lab at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health at the University of Toronto. Currently she is also an assistant professor in the Department of Preventive and Social Medicine in the School of Public Health at the Université de Montréal. Dr. Carabali has more than 13 years of experience in international epidemiological and biomedical research of infectious diseases and social epidemiology. Her research interests include health inequalities assessment, decomposition and mediation analyses, Bayesian spatiotemporal analyses, and methodological approaches to account for measurement error to improve the use of surveillance data.
