Colleen’s work focuses on the application of causal inference methods to health equity research. She is particularly interested in appropriate confounder and covariate control, causal mediation analyses, and research questions that combine causal and descriptive components. Colleen’s doctoral research focused on LGBTQ+ populations and reproductive health inequities. Her current postdoctoral research examines how to estimate the causal effects of policies on health disparities when policies change the composition of the populations experiencing those disparities.

Keling is interested in novel causal thinking methods needed “before and after causal estimation”, namely asking good causal questions, and alternatives in the violation of causal assumptions. Keling’s research primarily focuses on the formalization and application of causal triangulation methods, with interdisciplinary applied interests in social epidemiology and transgender/queer health.
