Dr. Oluwoye co-leads the APPROACHES to Community Mental Health Co-Lab housed in the Promoting Research Initiatives in Substance Use and Mental Health Collaborative at Washington State University. Her research interests focus on increasing racial health equity in mental health, with an emphasis on improving access to treatment and treatment delivery in community-based settings.

Much of this work is guided by the use of frameworks centered on culturally informed intervention development or adaptation combined with implementation science methodologies.

She has extensive experience in the prevention of substance use among racially and ethnically diverse groups, qualitative and quantitative data collection and analysis, mixed-methods research, and program development and evaluation.
