My research focuses on measuring the value of health interventions, their impact on children and families, and identifying opportunities for interventions through decision science and health services research methodologies. My research interests include decision modeling, economic evaluation, conjoint analysis, and health services research. My current research topics focus on health interventions, rare/chronic pediatric conditions, and the family spillover effects of illness.
