Dr. Blair's research focuses on stereotyping, prejudice and discrimination. Dr. Blair works with several multi-disciplinary groups to examine disparities in health care and health outcomes, funded most frequently by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Dr. Blair has examined implicit racial and ethnic bias among health care clinicians and associations of those biases to care delivery. Dr. Blair has also examined the potential effects of discrimination experiences on health in urban American Indians and Alaska Natives. Additional studies have investigated values affirmation as an intervention to promote more positive patient-clinician communication and patient activation.
