Abstract:
Bio:
Carolina Barbosa, PhD, PharmD, is a health economist in RTI International’s Health Economics Program. Her research focuses on the economic evaluation of health care programs, including analyses of cost effectiveness, cost-benefit, and return on investment. She has specific interests in the evaluation of public health programs, the application of statistical and decision-analytic methods, epidemiological modeling, and the economics of addiction. Currently, she is the principal investigator of a National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism-funded grant to develop a dynamic model that establishes a link between drinking patterns, health consequences, and alcohol treatment effectiveness and cost-effectiveness. She also serves as data coordinating center lead for the development of a simulation model of opioid use disorder that is being used to analyze the cost effectiveness of interventions implemented in the HEALing Communities Study.
