Yuanjin Zhou, PhD (she/her/hers)

Assistant Professor
The University of Texas Austin
Austin, Texas, United States

Yuanjin Zhou is an assistant professor at the Steve Hicks School of Social Work. Yuanjin Zhou received her Ph.D. in Social Welfare from the University of Washington School of Social Work.

Dr. Yuanjin Zhou’s research program focuses on characterizing both precarious and positive aspects of the caregiving process and how these caregiving processes shape health behaviors, reduce health risks, and improve health and well-being for care partners and older people with Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD). Furthermore, she explores how multilevel factors and mechanisms shape these caregiving processes. Through this formative research and the active involvement of community and clinical partners, Dr. Zhou's work aims to develop and implement empowerment, health promotion, and preventive interventions for care partners and older people with ADRD in various care settings. Specific areas of her research include engaging dementia care partners in fall risk management, conceptualizing and operationalizing resilience in dementia care partners, and enhancing social workers’ role in dementia care teams.
