Evaluative Sciences: Research

RESEARCH

Faculty members study a variety of health issues including health care quality improvement, patient decision-making, and determinants of health and disease. Some work with physicians to improve clinical outcomes for patients with heart disease, cancer, asthma, and other conditions. Others work with health care administrators to increase efficiency in the use of health care resources in hospitals and other health care settings. Some work with clinical scientists - geneticists, environmental scientists, molecular biologists, and social scientists - to increase knowledge about how to prevent disease and disability altogether.

CENTERS

The Center for Public Health and Health Policy Research (CPHHPR) is located in the Graduate Program of Public Health, which is under the Division of Evaluative Sciences. CPHHPR strives to "Bridge the Gap between Community and Research" by actively implementing and participating in community-based research. (Melody Goodman, Ph.D., Director)

The Children's Environmental Health Centers of New York at Stony Brook (CEHCNY at SB) is one of eight centers in Mount Sinai's statewide, regionalized children's environmental health system. The mission of the CEHCNY is to be a clinical, research, educational and community referral center for pediatric environmental diseases on Long Island, working in collaboration with the other CEHCNYs statewide (Mount Sinai School of Medicine, University of Buffalo School of Medicine, University of Rochester School of Medicine, Syracuse University School of Medicine, and Albany University School of Medicine). (Evonne Kaplan-Liss, M.D., M.P.H, Director)

The Center for Health Services and Outcomes Research (CHSOR) is a multidisciplinary research unit that combines expertise in economics, statistics, epidemiology, and medicine to address cost control and quality enhancement issues in health care service and delivery. As part of its research mission, CHSOR seeks to develop collaborative projects with researchers from all disciplines at Stony Brook University and with health organizations throughout Long Island.  (Raymond Goldsteen, Dr.PH., Director)
