Greg Matthews - New CSDE Fellow 2008-2009

My research interests include morbidity and mortality, social inequality, public health, global health, and methods. My master's thesis studies the implications of the prison expansion for race inequalities in health in the United States, focusing on HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis. I am currently working on projects with Sam Clark and Adrian Raftery that include modeling mortality and AIDS in developing countries with data from demographic surveillance sites, and probabilistic projections of populations using the Bayesian melding approach. Before entering graduate school I worked at Child Trends in Washington, DC, with projects on fatherhood, marriage, evaluations of afterschool and early childhood programs, and survey design. I recently conducted a brief analysis of inequalities in access to health care and health outcomes across demographic groups of children in Washington State using National Survey of Children's Health data.

Greg is in the sociology program and is sponsored by NICHD.
