Dr. Pilehvari\u2019s research centers on unraveling the causality behind health disparities, particularly within the realm of cancer prevention, surveillance, and survivorship. Employing econometrics and advanced statistical methodologies, she explores large scale national surveys and claims data. Her research not only uncovers hidden disparities but also highlights the pivotal contributing factors, thereby providing evidence for designing tailored interventions aimed at mitigating preventable health disparities. Currently, Dr. Pilehvari’s investigations focus on disparities in smoking prevalence, treatment disparities in metastatic breast cancer, and the financial burdens of cancer care.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
