Biography

Dr. Prosser's research focuses on measuring the comparative effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of childhood health interventions using methods of decision sciences and economics. Current research topics include evaluating long-term health and economic outcomes for newborn screening programs using simulation modeling, measuring public values for screening programs, and developing new methods for valuing family spillover effects of childhood illness.

Dr. Prosser's applied research on the economic impact of influenza vaccination has been used in setting national vaccine policy for children and for prioritizing subgroups in vaccine shortage years. Research using decision science modeling to project long-term health outcomes for proposed newborn screening programs have been used to inform national newborn screening policy decisions. Her methodological research focuses on evaluation and development of methods for valuing child health benefits for cost-effectiveness analysis and for incorporating family spillover effects on quality-of-life for childhood illnesses. A current project is testing new approaches for valuing family spillover effects on health-related quality of life for caregivers who have family members with a chronic health condition using both qualitative and quantitative methods.

She is a member of the evidence review group for the Advisory Committee on Heritable Disorders in Newborns and Children. Dr. Prosser was the founding decision scientist for the Institute for Clinical and Economic Review. Dr. Prosser also holds adjunct faculty appointments at Harvard Medical School and the Harvard School of Public Health.
