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.
