Eaton’s work addresses complex comorbidities affecting marginalized groups, particularly sexual and gender minorities. He leads projects such as the '3 Infections, 1 Fight Study' using geospatial tools to reduce harm from injection drug use, and the 'ReportNeedles.ca' initiative to map needle disposal hotspots. His studies also explore cognitive remediation therapies for aging HIV-positive populations and crisis mental health response models.
He holds grants from CIHR, SSHRC, CTN, and OHTN. His publications emphasize innovative interventions, including cognitive training programs, civilian-led crisis response systems, and global comparative studies on sexual identities. Eaton’s lab (eaton-lab.com) fosters collaboration between academics, practitioners, and communities to translate research into actionable health policies and practices.
