Alex Quistberg, PhD
Chair of the Department of Environmental and Occupational Health and Associate Research Professor, Urban Health Collaborative
An injury epidemiologist, Quistberg’s research has focused mostly on road safety and the built environment, such as studying what makes certain walkers more likely to be injured over others. He’s also studied how active transportation modes, such as biking or walking, are related to injury risks, both here in the United States and in Latin America. His transportation-related research has also included looks into teen driver and child passenger safety.
Quistberg has also worked on research relating to intentionally inflicted and/or violent injuries and trauma using electronic health data.
