Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Clare C. Brown's research focuses on public health, with a particular emphasis on health disparities and the impact of social and environmental factors on health outcomes. Her work investigates how conditions such as socioeconomic status, community vulnerability, and policy decisions influence health trends and access to care. She has examined the effects of COVID-19 on vaccination rates and school policies, as well as the prevalence and treatment of mental health conditions, especially among underserved populations.
Brown's federally funded research, supported by a $125,185 grant from the NIH/National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities, specifically addresses algorithmic fairness in predictive models to eliminate disparities in adverse infant outcomes, with a focus on race. This work aligns with her broader interest in understanding and mitigating systemic inequities within healthcare. Her collaborations with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including J. Mick Tilford and George Pro, highlight a network focused on health outcomes and policy.
With over 135 publications and an h-index of 14, Brown's scholarship spans a range of critical public health issues. Her recent publications address topics such as income variability and cardiovascular disease in diabetes, trends in lean diabetes prevalence, and the association between broadband capacity and telehealth utilization during the COVID-19 pandemic. She also leads a research group, contributing to the advancement of public health knowledge and practice.
