Krieger was featured in a Q&A on the site as one of seven researchers whose work contributes to societal impact. She said, “As someone whose scientific work for health justice is not part of the mainstream research that dominates the public health and medical literature, I find it encouraging, from the standpoint of health equity, that my work is cited frequently enough to merit my being named a Highly Cited Researcher. It is an affirmation that my work is of use to others.”
