| Research interests | My aging and economics research interests encompass long-term care financing, intra-household decision-making, unpaid care, and home- and community-based services. I examine how family caregiving affects health care utilization, expenditures, health and work outcomes of care recipients and caregivers. I am also interested in understanding how best to support family caregivers to optimize caregiver and care recipient outcomes through direct and indirect policies and pragmatic trials. |
