Elva Arredondo

Professor · San Diego State University · company speakers →

Dr. Arredondo is committed to reducing health disparities and advancing equity in diverse communities. Her research examines how social, cultural, and environmental factors shape health behaviors and outcomes, particularly among racial/ethnic minorities and communities facing social and economic barriers. She co-designs and tests multilevel interventions—working at the individual, family, organizational, and community levels—to promote healthier lifestyles and prevent chronic disease. A central focus of her work is identifying practical ways to translate proven, evidence-based strategies into real-world settings. By partnering closely with community organizations, Dr. Arredondo aims to expand access to programs that encourage physical activity, increase cancer screening, and ultimately improve the health and well-being of underrepresented populations.
