My work has focused on integrating psychological functioning with social inequalities and cardiometabolic risk factors. I am particularly interested in psychological well-being as a predictor of good health across the life course and as a potential buffer of education and racial/ethnic disparities in cardiometabolic health. New research is exploring how individuals from diverse education and racial backgrounds experience well-being in their own words by incorporating open-ended text data from MIDUS with the national survey data.

Jennifer Morozink Boylan is an Assistant Professor of Health and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Colorado Denver. She received her PhD in Biology Psychology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and completed postdoctoral fellowships in the Health Disparities Research Scholars Program at the University Wisconsin-Madison School of Medicine and Public Health and in the Cardiovascular Behavioral Medicine Program at the University of Pittsburgh. Her program of research centers on 1) conceptualizing positive psychological characteristics and their potential influence on physical health, 2) situating psychological risk and protective factors within broader social contexts (e.g., socioeconomic status (SES), race, and culture), and 3) examining biological mechanisms underlying how the social environment affects disease pathophysiology.
