My research is focused broadly on evaluating health policy changes (with a focus on health insurance policies) and its association with patients’ health service use and health outcomes from an economic perspective. Specifically, I am interested in exploring how people alter their prescription drug consumption patterns and healthcare decision-making behaviors responding to the implementation of new insurance policies such as the Medicare Part D program and the Affordable Care Act. I am also interested in exploring whether and how individual’s social, economic, and environmental factors, such as race/ethnicity and insurance status, affect inequalities in health service use/spending and health outcomes between different population groups.
