Early life and education

Duncan earned their bachelor's degree at Morehouse College. At Morehouse, Duncan majored in psychology.[1] They moved to the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health for their graduate studies, completing a master's degree in public health science.[1] Based at the Dana–Farber Cancer Institute Center for Community-Based Research, Duncan investigated how public perception of safety influenced people's likelihood to walk in urban neighbourhoods.[1] In particular, this appeared to impact ethnic minority and low income adults.[1] Duncan remained at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, where they studied environmental influences that cause obesity amongst young people.[2] After earning his doctorate in 2011, Duncan was appointed the Alonzo Smythe Yerby Postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard.[3]

Research and career

Duncan's research considers how environmental factors influence population health and health disparities. He moved to New York University. In particular, Duncan has focused on the health of sexual minority men and transgender women of color in New York City, Chicago and the Deep South. He is interested in the epidemiology of HIV, sleep and coronavirus diseases.[4] Duncan makes use of Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to better understand neighbourhoods, and they have argued that GPS-defined neighbourhoods are better than ZIP codes for researching communities.[1]

Duncan serves as Associate Dean for Health Equity Research at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health.[5] Here they lead two cohort studies; N2 (Neighborhoods and Networks), which considers Black, sexual minority men in Chicago and Baton Rouge and TURNNT (Trying to Understand Relationships, Networks and Neighborhoods among Transgender women of colour), which considers HIV-negative transgender women in New York City.[6][7] Duncan also serves as Founder and President of the Dustin Duncan Research Foundation.
