Dr. Haywood conducted empirical bioethics and health services research related to sickle cell disease. Additionally, Dr. Haywood was interested in the articulation of African American perspectives in bioethics. Dr. Haywood’s dissertation examined the association of patient-centered care with trust in the medical profession among adults with sickle cell disease. Dr. Haywood had a career development award (K01) from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) of the National Institutes for Health (NIH) to continue his studies of trust among sickle cell patients.  Dr. Haywood’s dissertation and doctoral training were also funded by the NHLBI through a National Research Service Award.
