Ashley Hagaman is an Assistant Professor in the School of Public Health at Yale University, specializing in Public Health, Social and Behavioral Sciences. Her research focuses on culturally informed strategies to reduce mental distress and suicide in low-income settings, particularly in Nepal and Pakistan. She integrates qualitative methodologies, implementation science, and global health approaches to develop community-based interventions, often leveraging technology to enhance mental health and maternal healthcare systems.
Her work emphasizes the sociocultural context of suicide prevention, maternal mental health, and the role of technology in improving healthcare access. She collaborates globally, co-designing interventions with local communities to ensure cultural relevance and sustainability. Hagaman also trains graduate students in qualitative research methods and implementation science, contributing to capacity-building in global health research.
Hagaman’s research spans maternal mental health trajectories, the impact of social support on depression, and the intersection of household water insecurity with health outcomes. Her studies often combine quantitative and qualitative methods, addressing systemic barriers to healthcare access and advocating for health equity in resource-limited settings.
Her articles highlight themes such as suicide prevention implementation, maternal-child health dynamics, and the use of passive sensing technology to personalize mental health interventions. She consistently addresses gender, cultural context, and structural inequities in her work, aiming to bridge research and actionable public health policies.
While no scientific awards are explicitly mentioned, her contributions to decolonizing suicide prevention strategies and advancing global health equity underscore her impactful scholarly work.
