His work emphasizes multidisciplinary collaboration to address the multifaceted needs of communities, particularly those facing health disparities. His specific research interests include prevention and management of chronic diseases through community and primary care approaches, co-design and implementation science, addressing health inequality among disadvantaged groups including older adults, and evidence-based policy, advocacy, and practice.

His scholarly output demonstrates a strong focus on non-communicable diseases, implementation science, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health, global health, primary health care, aged health care, mixed method approaches, evidence synthesis, and health policy. His work spans multiple continents with particular attention to vulnerable populations including refugees, older adults, and indigenous communities, often examining the intersection of social determinants and health outcomes.

Dr. Yadav has received several prestigious awards:

• 2021 David L. Sackett Fellowship from the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences, University of Oxford, UK
