My training is a combination of decision psychology and behavioral economics, and I have spent about 20 years focused on medical decision making and health and environmental risk communication. I have published extensively on individuals’ ability to use data to inform choices about health and medical risks. My research focuses on the ways to make health data more useful and intuitively meaningful in medical decision making and the role of narratives (stories) in effective health and science communication. I am also the Editor-in-Chief of the journals Medical Decision Making and MDM Policy & Practice.
