Rebecca Staiger

Assistant Professor, Health Policy and Management, School of Public Health

Becky Staiger is an Assistant Professor in the Division of Health Policy and Management in the School of Public Health. She is a health policy researcher whose work combines approaches from health economics and health services research to explore the behaviors of marginalized patient populations and the providers that treat them. In much of her research, she uses large Medicaid administrative claims databases to better understand how the relationships between patients and their providers affect Medicaid enrollees’ healthcare utilization, as well as how broader policy and clinical environments affect patient access to care. She also explores the impact of external influences (such as peers, policies, and practice environment) on provider behavior and provider participation in Medicaid.
