Promoting Health and Preventing Disease

Improving population health requires a strong focus on preventing disease and strategic decision-making.

The Prevention Policy Modeling Lab (PPML) evaluates the health impact, costs, and cost-effectiveness of infectious disease treatment and prevention programs in the United States. We work closely with collaborators in the National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to inform U.S. health policy and guide public health decision-making at national, state, and local levels. The models we build incorporate evidence-based prevention strategies, emphasize cross-cutting initiatives and produce results that can be operationalized within healthcare and other sectors.

Projects

Our Work

PPML is dedicated to creating models that improve public health decision-making in five key areas: HIV, viral hepatitis, sexually transmitted infections, tuberculosis, and school/adolescent health.
