Prior to joining BHRCS, she had been a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Family and Community Medicine at the University of New Mexico. She is a mental health services researcher, with specific experience in health policy, cross-cultural psychiatry, rural populations, and community-based participatory planning and evaluation. She has spearheaded a number of research projects in New Mexico that employ ethnographic methods and other qualitative data collection techniques to understand the impacts of new programs and policy reforms on diverse populations throughout the state.

Dr. Willging is currently Principal Investigator of a five-year multi-method assessment of behavioral health reform in New Mexico, and of an examination of rural adolescent drug use practices and help-seeking processes. She has undertaken research on Medicaid managed care reform, intervention development and implementation, and the mental health needs of rural sexual and gender minorities.
