Karry Weston (she/her)

Nursing

Dr. Weston is passionate about the health of rural Americans, especially mothers and babies. Her research is particularly focused on rural childbearing women’s uptake of health promoting behaviors, such as breastfeeding, health screenings, mental health services, and prescription use that could impact the health of rural communities overall. She is interested in understanding how the concept of habitus, or community and contextual factors that impact socialization and group norms, influence rural women’s worldview, and impact their health-related decision making.
