Amanda R. Patrick, M.S., is a research specialist at the Division of Pharmacoepidemiology and Pharmacoeconomics at the Brigham & Women’s Hospital. She holds a master’s degree from the Department of Health Policy and Management at the Harvard School of Public Health, where she focused on decision science and completed an internship at the Harvard Center for Risk Analysis. Ms. Patrick has additional experience in pharmacoeconomics consulting and plans to pursue a doctoral degree in Pharmacoepidemiology. Her interests include cost-effectiveness analysis, risk-benefit analysis, and approaches for controlling confounding in non-experimental studies of drug safety and effectiveness. She is currently involved in a study of the safety of medications used to treat ADHD, an evaluation of the cost-effectiveness of improving osteoporosis medication adherence, and work on the incorporation of risk-benefit tradeoffs into prospective drug safety monitoring systems.
