Dr. Champion is a Professor at The University of Texas at Austin School of Nursing. Her most outstanding contributions to nursing practice are in improving the health of vulnerable at-risk populations of minority women. She was one of the first nurses to study the relationship of sexually transmitted infections, unintended pregnancy, and substance use and abuse among minority women. Through her program of interdisciplinary clinical research, she developed evidence-based community interventions for urban and rural populations of African-and Mexican-American women, including adolescents with a sexually transmitted infection, unintended pregnancy and abuse. These findings have been translated into clinical practice within community health programs nationally and internationally.
