Helena Addison, PhD, RN, is a Research Fellow in the Department of Internal Medicine at Yale School of Medicine. She holds a PhD in Nursing Science from the University of Pennsylvania (2024), a Master of Science in Nursing from Johns Hopkins School of Nursing (2019), and a BA in Psychology from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. Her research focuses on mental health outcomes in marginalized populations, particularly formerly incarcerated Black men, veterans with criminal-legal involvement, and individuals affected by intimate partner violence. Her work integrates qualitative and quantitative methods to address systemic inequities and inform healthcare interventions.
Her articles explore themes such as the lasting mental health impacts of incarceration, the intersection of criminal justice involvement and veteran health, and the development of health promotion programs targeting vulnerable communities. Notable contributions include studies on racial disparities in mental health access and the moderating roles of trauma in substance use behaviors.
Addison's expertise extends to cultural humility frameworks in nursing education, aiming to prepare practitioners for diverse patient populations. She is affiliated with the NCSP (likely a research program or initiative at Yale).
