Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Clare C. Brown's research focuses on public health issues, particularly those related to health disparities and the impact of social determinants on health outcomes. Her work investigates the intersection of socioeconomic factors, race, ethnicity, and access to healthcare, with a significant portion of her recent publications addressing the COVID-19 pandemic and its differential effects on various populations.

Brown is the Principal Investigator on a $125,185 NIH/National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities grant focused on algorithmic fairness in predictive models to eliminate disparities in adverse infant outcomes. Her research group leads studies that examine trends in health conditions such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease, with an emphasis on population-based cohorts and the influence of income variability. She also explores mental health conditions, their association with severe maternal morbidity, and disparities in treatment access, such as the downward national trends in Spanish-language mental health treatment.

Her recent publications also include analyses of SARS-CoV-2 incidence in relation to school mask policies in Arkansas and the utilization of telehealth services among Medicare beneficiaries during the COVID-19 pandemic. Brown's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 15, with 146 total publications and 934 total citations. She collaborates extensively with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including J. Mick Tilford, George Pro, Mandana Rezaeiahari, and Corey J. Hayes.
