Jeanne Sears
I specialize in occupational health services research, and in program and policy evaluation. My research interests include access to and quality of health care and other services provided through the workers’ compensation system and the vocational rehabilitation system for injured workers, under-reporting and cost-shifting for work-related injuries and illnesses, the health care workforce, and improving and expanding data resources for occupational injury surveillance and outcomes research. I am also interested in the health and cost-related outcomes of interventions related to risky prescribing practices and substance use.
