Research Interests
My research interests are broadly in the application of quantitative methods, including decision analysis, cost-effectiveness analysis, systematic review, and mathematical modeling to clinical, epidemiological, and policy questions in women's health. Other work includes design and conduct of observational studies, especially in gynecological surgery and management of uterine fibroids.
As Vice Chair for Reproductive Risks for the Duke IRB, I am also interested in developing evidence-based procedures and policies to encourage safe enrollment of women, including pregnant women, into clinical trials.
