She has authored 49 scientific publications on the topics of physical activity promotion in primary care, cross-cultural communication, and disparities in cancer care and cancer control. Dr. Carroll is the recipient of several honors and awards for innovation and/or policy implications for her research from the American Academy of Cancer Research, the European Association for Communication in Healthcare, and the New York State legislature. She is the US member of an eight-nation Early Career Research Network, which aims to foster collaboration and scholarship in health communication research among early career researchers.
