About
Abhery Das’ research examines mental health and psychiatric service utilization among minoritized communities resulting from policy implementation, exogenous shocks and inequitable social systems. Her work on institutional racism in the criminal justice system demonstrates how police stops, police killings of unarmed Black Americans and incarceration result in greater psychiatric help-seeking in the broader Black population. Her future projects include evaluation of policies that reduce racial disparities in policing and incarceration, as well as the mental health consequences of police presence and zero tolerance policies in urban schools.
