Nina Joyce received her doctorate in Epidemiology from Brown in 2015 and completed a 2-year post-doctoral fellowship at Harvard Medical School's Department of Health Care Policy. Though her training is in epidemiology, she frequently collaborate with researchers across departments, including health services research and economics. As a result, she has developed an interdisciplinary research agenda that aims to place traditional clinical epidemiological research within the context of current health policy. Her research focuses on the association between patterns of health care utilization and clinical outcomes, with particular interests in longitudinal patterns of pharmacotherapy in children and end-of-life care for the elderly. In addition, she is currently building an initiative to study the association between medication use and motor vehicle crashes in older drivers.
Nina Joyce is a 2019 grantee of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Health Data for Action program, managed by AcademyHealth.
