Edson Chipalo, Ph.D (he/him/his)

Assistant professor
University of Cincinnati

Dr. Edson Chipalo holds a Ph.D. in Social Work from the University of Alabama, where he was awarded the Graduate Council Fellowship three times and received the Outstanding Dissertation Award for his exceptional work for 2023-2024 from the Graduate School. He earned his Master of Science in Social Work from Columbia University in 2018 and his Bachelor of Science in Social Work from The College of Saint Rose in 2017. His research is driven by a deep commitment to understanding how early-life adversity shapes long-term health and well-being among vulnerable populations, particularly children and youth in resource-limited settings. Grounded in a biopsychosocial framework, his research examines the intersectionality of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), physical health, mental and behavioral health, and socioeconomic outcomes. He is particularly interested in how these outcomes unfold across the life course and how they are influenced by intersecting structural and environmental factors. Additionally, his research examines how psychosocial stressors affect African refugees and immigrant communities resettled in the United States (U.S). This includes examining the effects of trauma, discrimination, and acculturation challenges on mental health, family dynamics, and integration outcomes.
