Dr. Kokenge's research program critically examines health inequities through medication adherence studies, cardiovascular health interventions, and systems-level policy analysis. Her clinical expertise bridges emergency nursing, critical care, and leadership development with strong focus on underserved populations. Current investigations utilize systematic review and meta-analysis methodologies to address hypertension management barriers in historically marginalized communities.

Recent publication trends reveal concentrated efforts in health disparity reduction, particularly through culturally tailored interventions for American Indian/Alaska Native populations and medication adherence frameworks for antihypertensive therapy in underrepresented adults. These works demonstrate methodological rigor in systematic evidence synthesis applied to real-world clinical practice challenges.
