Title: CHEAR Faculty Research Overview

Description: This seminar will provide an overview of my currently-funded research on family well-being (FAM-NET: Building a Research Network on Family Well-Being) and vaccine preferences and economics (PAVVE – Preferences and Values for Vaccine Economics). This work includes cost-effectiveness analyses of COVID-19 vaccination prepared for the CDC.

Biography: Dr. Prosser's research focuses on measuring the value of childhood health interventions using methods of decision sciences and economics. Current research topics include newborn screening programs, vaccination programs, and methods for valuing family spillover effects of illness. She also uses quantitative survey methods (health utility assessment, conjoint analysis) to measure health-related quality of life and preferences for health interventions. Dr. Prosser's research evaluating the cost-effectiveness of vaccination programs has been used in setting national vaccine policy for children and adults. Her work with the Center for Disease Control and Prevention using simulation modeling to evaluate the economic value of COVID-19 vaccination has been used by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices to set national policy recommendations. Dr. Prosser has contributed to faculty development programs at the department, school, and institutional level. Dr. Prosser is the former Director of the Susan B. Meister Child Health Evaluation and Research Center. She also serves as Associate Vice President for Research-Health Sciences and holds a joint faculty appointment at the U-M School of Public Health.
