Background

I am the Director of the Center on Aging and Health and a Professor in the Division of Geriatric Medicine and Gerontology of the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. I have joint appointments as a Professor in the Department of Epidemiology and the Department of Biostatistics of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Prior to joining the faculty at Johns Hopkins in January of 2012, I was a Professor of Biostatistics in the School of Public Health at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. I have over 25 years of experience as an investigator in the areas of gerontology, behavioral research, and family and social factors as they relate to chronic diseases and their clinical management.  I also have specific expertise and experience in applied, multivariate statistical modeling. My research activities include specific and active interests in the psychosocial aspects of chronic health conditions, both for patients and for their family caregivers. This includes much work on the effects of disabling neurological conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease and stroke on patients and on the family members who provide care for them. I also have considerable experience serving as a senior statistical and methodological co-investigator on epidemiological studies of aging and on clinical trials of complex interventions for older patients and their caregivers. Areas of statistical expertise include longitudinal analysis methods, structural equation modeling techniques, latent variable approaches, psychometric analysis methods, mediation analysis, and the design and analysis of intervention trials.
