Methodologically, Dr. Thorpe has expertise in a secondary analysis of real-world healthcare data (e.g., medical claims, prescription drug records, electronic health records, federal surveys) and observational study designs to compare the effectiveness and safety of different treatment options. She also is well-versed in scale development, survey research, and qualitative methods, and uses a combination of quantitative and qualitative approaches in her studies.
