Title: The association between physical activity and employment among U.S. adult cancer survivors
Alexis Clouser is a PhD student in Epidemiology at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) Fay W. Boozman College of Public Health. Her research interests center on behavioral epidemiology, with a focus on the intersection of health behaviors and socioeconomic outcomes. She brings important regional perspective to her work, particularly when examining health and labor dynamics in underserved and historically disadvantaged populations.
Her research leverages large, nationally representative datasets to investigate how health behaviors—such as physical activity and sleep—affect labor force participation and broader economic outcomes. As she advances in her public health training, she aims to further explore how occupation type influences health trajectories and to contribute to the design and implementation of evidence-based workplace interventions that promote both health and economic well-being.
