Dr. Allsworth’s research examines how social constructs, like race, violence, and poverty, alter women’s healthcare utilization and reproductive outcomes. Her current research interests include: health disparities in obstetric and gynecologic outcomes; the identification of modifiable predictors of disparities in reproductive health care use and outcomes using electronic health record data; and community-based interventions to improve health and reduce health disparities. Dr. Allsworth’s research and teaching focus on the integration of best practices of observational epidemiology and the latest approaches to causal inference in the analysis of “big data” including, administrative and electronic health record data.
