Diego Manríquez Robles is a Fulbright Fellow and PhD student in Health Psychology and Behavioral Medicine at Rice University. His work lies at the intersection of social and health psychology, behavioral medicine, and public health, with a focus on the structural determinants of health. Using advanced quantitative methods, he examines how structural conditions shape psychosocial and behavioral processes that influence clinical outcomes and engagement with health systems. His work draws on longitudinal and population-based data across clinical and population health contexts, with particular emphasis on health inequities and underserved populations. He contributes to large-scale, cross-national studies addressing global health challenges.
