Biography:

Douglas Barthold joined the Comparative Health Outcomes, Policy, and Economics (CHOICE) Institute faculty in 2018, after completing a postdoctoral fellowship at the Schaeffer Center for Health Policy and Economics at the University of Southern California. He received his Ph.D. in Economics from McGill University in 2015, with a specialization in empirical health economics.

Doug is broadly interested in the relationships between health policies, healthcare utilization, and health outcomes and inequalities. His current research examines the intersection between health policies, chronic disease management, and cognition, from mid-life to end-of-life. This includes the role of health policies in the management of mid-life risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD), as well as the value of care for conditions that influence healthy aging.
