For the past 10 years, my research interests have focused on studies of health and community service expenditures among long term care recipients, occupational injury among personal care workers, and assisted living.  I have also done extensive work in care coordination and managed care.  I am currently a co-Principal Investigator on a study conducted in collaboration with the State Department of Health Care Services developing a longitudinal data base that includes Medicaid claims, home care and other assessments.  These files include aged and non-aged disabled adults and they are linked to Medicare claims for those with dual eligibility.
