Summary

My overarching research mission is to prevent cancer morbidity and mortality by generating tools and evidence to inform policy decision making. To support this mission, my research program emphasizes applying decision science methods, and draws from theories of public administration, political science, and dissemination and implementation science. My current projects focus on understanding processes of program and policy implementation, simulating how program and policy outcomes may differ under alternative implementation scenarios, and developing decision support tools to structure decision making.
