My research examines the effects of policy on maternal health outcomes and on access to maternity care services. I have specific focus on geographic and racial equity, and my research includes topics such as disparities in severe maternal morbidity and mortality, changing access to rural maternity care, and the impact of payment policies on maternal and postpartum care.
