Most fields of research produce new knowledge. Instead, we focus on making better decisions based on available data and advanced modeling techniques. We use interdisciplinary approaches, including theory and natural experiments, to inform medical and public health decision-making. Our focus, Decision Analysis in Health, aims to inform policies and real-time clinical decisions, including the social and environmental determinants of health.
