Dr. Enane’s research centers on HIV and TB care for adolescents—investigating adolescent HIV and TB outcomes, care engagement, and interventions. She received a K23 Career Development Award from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute for Child Health and Human Development to investigate adolescent disengagement from HIV care in western Kenya and to develop a tool to assess risks for disengagement.

Her ongoing work includes developing interventions to support healthy adolescent outcomes in HIV and TB care.
