OverviewAI-generated summary
Clare C. Brown leads a research group at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences focused on health disparities and outcomes, particularly in the context of infectious diseases and maternal health. Her work investigates the impact of socioeconomic factors and policy on health outcomes, with a recent emphasis on COVID-19 and its differential effects across communities. Brown is the Principal Investigator on an NIH/National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities grant ($125,185) examining algorithmic fairness in predictive models to address disparities in adverse infant outcomes, specifically considering race.
Her publications explore a range of public health issues, including variations in COVID-19 vaccination rates by community vulnerability, the association between mental health conditions and severe maternal morbidity, and the impact of mask policies on SARS-CoV-2 incidence in K–12 school districts. She has also published on national trends in mental health treatment offered in Spanish, the utilization of telehealth among Medicare beneficiaries during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the relationship between income variability and cardiovascular disease in individuals with diabetes. Her research also touches on neurological involvement in children with hemolytic-uremic syndrome and trends in lean diabetes prevalence.
Brown's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 14, with 135 total publications and 860 total citations. She has a significant publication history with key collaborators at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including J. Mick Tilford (9 shared publications), George Pro (8 shared publications), Mandana Rezaeiahari (6 shared publications), and Corey J. Hayes (5 shared publications).
