The focus of Roberta Goldman's work is to investigate issues of social context in community— and primary care-based studies, health behavior interventions and patient-centered outcome research. Her expertise is in community engagement for multi-method qualitative research within mixed-methods qualitative/quantitative studies, with special foci on immigrant, minority and non-English speaking populations, as well as populations with low income and low health literacy,  She has conducted research across the age spectrum from pregnancy, early childhood and adolescence through older age in such areas as women's health, physician-patient communication, obesity prevention and reduction, medication safety, pain measurement, headache, cancer and cardiovascular disease, other chronic diseases, and the development and testing of health information technology. She also conducts medical education and health care delivery evaluation research.

Roberta Goldman, anthropologist, is a core faculty member and researcher in the Brown Center for Primary Care and Prevention. She has worked collaboratively on multidisciplinary research teams for over 30 years with investigators from a wide variety of medical, public health, social science and other academic backgrounds, and with minority and immigrant community groups. An important focus of her work concerns applying issues of social context to research design and data analysis, community- and primary care-based health behavior interventions and program evaluation, clinical teaching, and curriculum development. She has consulted broadly on the use of qualitative methods in health care research and cultural issues in patient care, and has led qualitative components of numerous federally funded studies. She teaches a yearly graduate course at the Harvard Chan School of Public Health, "Qualitative Research Methods for Public Health". She speaks English, Spanish, and Portuguese, and has done qualitative research in Peru, Mexico, Alaska, and Portugal, and in Cape Verdean, Portuguese, Latino, African American, West Indian, Vietnamese and European-American communities in New England.

Dr. Goldman has participated in numerous multidisciplinary team collaborations for federally-funded health IT projects where she has provided research design planning and oversight for all aspects of qualitative research and application of qualitative findings to design of the electronic programs. She was co-PI for an AHRQ-funded intervention to develop low-literacy educational DVDs to enhance medication safety among older adults. She was PI of a study exploring the combination of qualitative research methods and internet-based disease prevention interventions among Spanish-speaking Latina women in midlife; PI of a longitudinal study investigating the impact of full electronic medical record implementation in a family medicine residency clinic; PI of a study of cancer screening among Latinos, and PI of a community-engaged research study of substance use among Latino and Black youth. She has been a co-investigator for a great variety of other federally-funded studies aimed at disease prevention through behavior change, and improving patient safety, disease management, patient-physician communication and patient self-management. She has conducted evaluation studies for health care innovation initiatives in Rhode Island, including implementation of a community healthworker program and adult and pediatric integrated behavioral health programs.

At Brown, Harvard and other institutions, Dr. Goldman has served as qualitative research mentor for learners at all levels of training - undergraduate students, masters and doctoral students, medical students, family medicine residents, fellows, and junior faculty.

Development of Tailored Intervention to Promote CRC Screening Among Latino Men
Colorectal cancer screening rates are low, especially among Latinos with limited English proficiency. "Positive deviants" or "successful peers" are those individuals in a community who practice a healthy behavior (e.g. colorectal cancer screening) when the majority do not. This project will use a "positive deviance" approach to create a culturally and linguistically appropriate innovative personalized video intervention to promote colorectal cancer screening among Spanish-speaking Latino men.
