Associate Professor of the Practice of Epidemiology

Overview

Dr. Pearlman received her Ph.D. in Health Policy at Brandeis University, Waltham, Massachusetts, with a concentration in quantitative research methods and program evaluation. Her applied public health research is guided by four core principles: (1) equity, (2) effectiveness, (3) sustainability, and (4) community engagement. The breadth of her work reflects a long-standing commitment to understand how the social ecology of a community has a profound effect on a wide range of health outcomes across the lifespan. Current grant funding in applied epidemiology supports research and community-based interventions in the areas of childhood asthma, youth and young adult behavioral / mental health, and interpersonal violence/ sexual violence.  Dr. Pearlman has extensive applied research experience in the ways in which gender-based inequity, discrimination, and gender-based violence intersect to undermine the health of girls and women.
