Deborah Pearlman's substantive research interests are in advancing a deeper understanding of how fundamental causes of disparity (e.g., socioeconomic position, residential racial segregation) influence health over the lifespan. Her current research examines whether race is associated with health outcomes when measures of neighborhood-level poverty are taken into account. Dr. Pearlman's publications include cancer screening, prenatal HIV testing, domestic violence, and children's health.

Dr. Pearlman received her Ph.D. in Health Policy at Brandeis University, Waltham, Massachusetts, with a concentration in quantitative research methods and program evaluation.
