Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Jennifer A. Andersen's research focuses on public health issues, with a significant emphasis on COVID-19, vaccine hesitancy, and health disparities. She has investigated perceived barriers to COVID-19 testing and explored the relationship between vaccine hesitancy, race/ethnicity, trust, fear, and experiences of discrimination among various adult populations in the United States. Her work also examines parent/guardian intentions to vaccinate children against COVID-19.
Beyond the immediate pandemic response, Andersen's research encompasses the utilization of remote patient monitoring and telehealth within the U.S. healthcare system, analyzing factors associated with telehealth adoption. She has also studied the associations between rheumatoid arthritis and depressive symptoms, considering demographic factors such as education, race/ethnicity, and gender.
Andersen is a Principal Investigator (PI) on a $378,686 NIH/Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality grant examining the effects of COVID-19-related Medicaid policy changes on the Marshallese COFA migrant population. She is also a Co-PI on a $1,529,996 NIH/Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development grant focused on Community Health Worker (CHW) assessment for postpartum health. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 14, 101 total publications, and 1,065 total citations. She actively collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Don E. Willis, James P. Selig, Brett Rowland, and Pearl A. McElfish.
