The Cost-Effectiveness of Mind-Body Interventions on Chronic Pain

Timothy Brown, Professor  
Public Health  

Applications for Spring 2025 are closed for this project.

This project will use simulation methods to determine the cost-effectiveness of mind-body interventions using data from randomized controlled trials, national survey data, and other resources. The goal is to publish a peer-reviewed article to help establish the value of these interventions in healthcare. This has not been done before to my knowledge.

Role: Students will perform literature reviews, meta-analyses, and cost-effectiveness analyses.

Qualifications: Experience conducting literature reviews. Experience with meta-analyses and cost-effectiveness analysis are preferred but not expected. Experience with writing peer-reviewed publications preferred but not expected. Experience performing econometric analysis with Stata needed.

Hours: 6-8 hrs

Off-Campus Research Site: We will meet in person or via Zoom as needed.
