Teaching Interests

Dr. Ryder has taught pharmacy students and others about public health, research methods, and health disparities.

Scholarly Interests

Dr. Ryder has been a health researcher for nearly 30 years, focusing on health disparities, and healthcare access and utilization, especially for underserved populations and mature and older adults.

 I am a mixed-methods researcher (quantitative and qualitative), with interests in health status and health utilization of mature and older adults, especially in medically-underserved populations. Specific topics include health disparities, HIV prevention, meanings of medications and medication adherence, and social/administrative pharmacy education.
