Sarah Gordon is an assistant professor in the Department of Health Law, Policy, and Management at the Boston University School of Public Health. Her research is dedicated to studying coverage and access to care among low-income populations, with a particular emphasis on how Medicaid policy can help reduce, but also contribute to, racial and ethnic disparities in access and quality of healthcare services. Dr. Gordon’s recent projects leverage state-level data sets, such as all payer claims databases, and quasi-experimental study designs to evaluate the effects of state-level policies. She received her doctorate in health services research from the Brown University School of Public Health and a MS in social and behavioral sciences from the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health.
