Dr. Young's research interests center on migrant health, health inequities, intersectionality theory, and qualitative research methods. She examines how migrants adapt and respond to structural drivers of inequity, with recent work focusing on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on migrant and refugee background tertiary students and the role of culturally and linguistically diverse social media influencers in promoting health behaviors.
