Janet Prvu Bettger's research focuses on improving health outcomes and healthcare delivery, particularly for vulnerable populations. Her work has investigated the effectiveness of integrated health and social care models, examining policy progress and implementation strategies in the United States. Bettger has also studied the impact of mobile health interventions for managing chronic conditions like stroke, with a notable cluster-randomized controlled trial conducted in rural China.
Her research extends to understanding patient experiences and psychological factors influencing recovery. This includes qualitative studies exploring patient and provider perspectives on hospital-to-home transitions for individuals with traumatic brain injury, as well as examining the relationship between pain catastrophizing and post-operative outcomes in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty. Bettger's scholarship also addresses the longitudinal effects of physical activity and inactivity on physical function in older adults.
With a substantial publication record and a high citation count (h-index: 41, total citations: 7,293), Bettger is recognized as a highly cited researcher. Her work contributes to the broader fields of health sciences research, healthcare policy, and behavioral and psychological studies, aiming to enhance the quality and accessibility of care.
