Beth Ann’s research has largely focused on causal effects estimation when using observational data. Her substantive research has primarily fallen into three areas: (1) substance abuse treatment for adolescents, (2) the impact of non-genetic factors on Huntington’s disease, and (3) the effects of gun and opioid state policies on outcomes. She co-directed the RAND Center for Causal Inference between 2013-2018. Currently, Griffin is a co-investigator on Gun Policy in America, a RAND initiative to understand the effects of gun policies, and is co-directing RAND’s Opioid Policy Tools and Information Center (OPTIC) to foster innovative research, tools and methods for tackling the opioid epidemic.
Join Beth Ann over the lunch hour to hear more about her work and career, and the steps leading up to her current roles, as well as information on summer or full-time research opportunities. (Link to bio HERE)
