Her recent projects leverage state-level datasets, such as all-payer claims databases, and quasi-experimental study designs to evaluate the effects of state-level policies. Gordon received her Ph.D. in health services research from the Brown University School of Public Health and an M.S. in social and behavioral sciences from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
