Brault’s research bridges medical anthropology with public health, emphasizing community-based participatory research, mixed methods, and implementation science. She investigates gender, mental health, and empowerment among adolescents, particularly in low-income and pandemic-affected contexts.

Her recent publications highlight collaborations in India and Sub-Saharan Africa, addressing youth health programming, HIV prevention, and pandemic response strategies. These studies employ mixed methods, qualitative frameworks, and implementation science to improve healthcare access and equity.
