Dr. Max is Professor-in Residence of Health Economics and Co-Director of the Institute for Health & Aging at the University of California, San Francisco.
Her research focuses on the cost of illness methodology, and the economic impact of illness, injury and disability. Dr. Max has extensive experience analyzing the economic burden of injuries and the effectiveness of interventions, including an economic evaluation of California's motorcycle helmet law, a study of the lifetime cost of all injuries in the U.S., an analysis of the cost of firearm injuries, and work on the economic impact of domestic violence.
Her work on the economic cost of the health effect of smoking includes a study of the cost of smoking in California, the development of a national model of smoking costs, and its application to states and the public aid sector.
Other research areas include the economic impact of breast cancer, the disproportionate cost of smoking for minority communities, disability, the formal and informal care cost of Alzheimer's disease, and healthcare for the chronically ill and elderly.
Title: The Cost of Breast Cancer in California
Project Period: 7/1/2003-6/30/2006
Funding Agency: University of California Breast Cancer Research
Program
Description: The purpose of this research study is to estimate (1)
the annual cost of breast cancer in California, including direct health
care costs, (2) the value of lost productivity for those living with the
disease, and (3) the value of lives lost prematurely.
Title: The Disproportionate Cost of Smoking for Communities of Color
Project Period: 7/1/2003-6/30/2006
Funding Agency: University of California Tobacco-Related Disease
Research Program (TRDRP)
Description: The purpose of this project is to estimate
smoking-attributable costs for African Americans, Hispanics, and others
in California for 2002 with three specific aims are to estimate (1) the
direct costs of smoking-related illness, (2) the value of lost
productivity from smoking-related illness, and (3) losses resulting from
smoking-caused mortality.
Title: A Dynamic Model of
Smoking and Healthcare Expenditures in California
Project Period: 7/01/00-6/30/04
Funding Agency: Tobacco-Related Disease Research Program (TRDRP),
University of California - Office of the President
Description: Using national surveys, a series of related models are
being developed to analyze the impact of smoking on health status, on the
likelihood of having a smoking-caused disease, and the impact of poor
health and disease on healthcare expenditures. These models will be
applied to California to estimate the annual and lifetime healthcare
expenditures attributed to smoking and will subsequently be used to
address a question of great policy relevance in California: What has been
the net effect of the California Tobacco Control Program on healthcare
costs?
