Quan Qi, Ph.D., is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the School of Nursing at Johns Hopkins University. She received her Ph.D. and M.A. in Economics from the University at Albany, State University of New York. Dr. Qi’s research investigates how structural and social determinants of health such as health insurance design, reproductive health policy, economic shocks, and environmental exposures influence health care access, utilization, and outcomes in vulnerable populations that include pregnant women, children, older adults, and racial minorities. Dr. Qi has special expertise in causal inference methods applied to health data, “big data” analysis, and economic modeling for health outcomes. Her postdoctoral project applies advanced quantitative methods to evaluate whether integrated Dually Eligible Special Needs Plans (D-SNPs) improve health care access, quality, and outcomes among individuals with dementia.
