Justin S. White, PhD, is an associate professor of health economics at the University of California, San Francisco, with joint appointments in the Philip R. Lee Institute for Health Policy Studies and the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics. He conducts research to evaluate the effects of behavioral interventions and policies on modifiable risk factors for chronic disease, with emphasis on tobacco use and diet, in structurally disadvantaged groups. He designs and implements incentive-based interventions to promote healthy behavior among marginalized groups, evaluated through randomized trials and informed by insights from the field of behavioral economics. White also applies quasi-experimental econometric techniques to evaluate the effects of social and economic policies on mitigating chronic disease risk. White holds a PhD in health policy and a concurrent MA in economics from University of California, Berkeley.
