About

I am a Professor of Health Economics at the University of Texas School of Public Health and in the Center for Clinical Research and Evidence-Based Medicine at the University of Texas McGovern Medical School. The primary focus of my research is the economic evaluation of public health and healthcare interventions and policies. This includes economic analyses, conducted alongside randomized clinical trials, which document evidence of the cost effectiveness of clinical interventions and follow-up care, in terms of costs relative to both specific health indicators and to patients’ utilities. In addition, I continue to be involved in economic evaluation of interventions designed to prevent illness. Economic analysis is an important component in investigating the impacts of social determinants on population health. My interests in this area include investigation of social determinants of health policies and programs to reduce health disparities and investigation of the inter-relationships between economic activity and population health. I am involved in community-focused economic evaluations of interventions targeting vulnerable populations and have active collaborative research projects with colleagues in several Texas Medical Center Institutions.
