Research interests
My primary research interests include aging and chronic disease, cognition, dementia, and Alzheimer’s disease. I have conducted studies on willingness-to-pay for Alzheimer’s disease medications, measuring quality-of-life in Alzheimer’s disease, and the use of outcome measurement instruments in Alzheimer’s disease drug trials. My other research interests include systematic reviews, population and public health from a life-course perspective, health policy and economics, and knowledge transfer.
