Summary

My research experiences include evaluating state-level policies and treatment programs and studying socioeconomic determinants across multiple health care settings at domestic and international levels. For instance, much of my work uses administrative data, such as Medicaid claims, HIV/AIDS registries, national surveys, and state treatment registries, to examine treatment and other healthcare utilization patterns among individuals with substance use disorder (SUD), HIV/AIDS, and severe mental illnesses.
