Dr Hine’s research interests fall within the
growing public health initiative that has begun
to address concerns faced by 10 million cancer
survivors in the US. Her primary focus is
testing whether improving nutritional risk
profiles may lower some cancer treatment-related
toxicities. She collaborates with HPM and COPH
faculty on one project exploring the legal and
policy changes related to obesity and a project
designed to uncover factors underlying ethnic
disparity in breast cancer survival. Dr. Hine is
affiliated with the Arkansas Cancer Research
Center and in the Department of Geriatrics.
