Portrait of Eunhee Victoria Park

Eunhee Victoria Park is a public health scientist examining sexual and reproductive health across women's lifespan. She is a postdoctoral fellow in the Primary Care Research Training Program (HRSA T32) at the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences. She focuses on how structural and policy environments shape maternal, reproductive, and sexual health, with a particular emphasis on prenatal care access, syndemics of substance use, violence, and HIV/STIs.

Using mixed-methods approaches, Eunhee studies the pathways through which policies, institutional practices, and social meanings translate into health behaviors and outcomes. Her doctoral research was supported by the NIH F31 National Research Service Award (NRSA) from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). The work examined how intersecting structural factors, including substance use criminalization, housing instability, and healthcare system barriers shape prenatal engagement and congenital syphilis risk.

In addition, Eunhee has led the Double Jeopardy Study and art exhibitions on sexual violence on college campuses as a Co-Principal Investigator, with funding support from AAPI Data, the Center for Institutional Courage, the UCLA Center for the Study of Women & Barbra Streisand Center, and the UCLA Asian American Studies Center. She has also received training support from the UCLA Maternal and Child Health Center of Excellence and the UCLA Academic Senate.

Eunhee earned her Ph.D. in Community Health Sciences from the University of California, Los Angeles, an M.P.H. in Social and Behavioral Sciences from the University of Hawaii at Mānoa, and a B.A. in Political Science and International Relations with a Minor in English Language and Literature from Sookmyung Women’s University in Seoul, South Korea. She was the graduate degree fellow at the East-West Center. She has 10 years of professional experience in various academic institutions collaborating on global health projects with partners from Zambia, Uganda, Tanzania, South Africa, Nepal, Vietnam, Fiji, etc.
