Important members in the research lab

PHSR graduate students work on a variety of research projects that range from pharmacoepidemiologic analysis of automated claims data, incorporating advanced methods and longitudinal analysis, to patient-reported outcomes using discrete choice experiment surveys for utilities assessment, and the analysis of health behaviors related to medication use patterns and treatment adherence.
