Huiyun Xiang, MD, MPH, PhD
Dr. Huiyun Xiang

My major research interests include:

       (1) Injury prevention among individuals with disabilities.

       (2) Pediatric injury research and prevention in the developing world.

My team’s research has focused on epidemiologic research of nonfatal injuries among children and adults with disabilities. Our research has demonstrated that individuals with disabilities are at significantly higher risk of injuries than those without disabilities but those injuries are preventable because injuries among them follow certain patterns. Our team is also collaborating with researchers in  to study agricultural injuries among school-age children, drowning death and near-drowning events among children, and pediatric traumatic brain injuries.
