Prior to that Dr. Bartlett’s clinical focus area was the psychiatric and mental health inpatient setting, where she served in staff nurse and leadership roles. She has also worked in the community focused on the care of persons with psychiatric and mental health issues.

Gaining inspiration from her clinical practice experiences, Dr. Bartlett’s primary research focus is in understanding and prevention of risky behaviors, primarily among underserved youth. Broadly she is interested in health disparities research. She has conducted intervention studies focused on the prevention of risky behaviors that could lead to negative health outcomes for African American and Latinx adolescent girls. She has also conducted nursing education research. Other areas of research/methods interest include parenting, interdisciplinary research, health systems research, analyses of existing data, and community-based participatory research.
