Dr. Buszkiewicz is a social epidemiologist who applies both epidemiologic and econometric methods to understand how policy can address key structural determinants of health, such as income inequity, racism, and the built environment. To date, his work has examined the impact of raising state minimum wages on health and mental wellbeing, the influence of measures of the urban form and food environment on body weight trajectories, and the influence of policy changes in response to COVID-19 on diet quality and food insecurity. Since joining the U-M School of Public Health, Dr. Buszkiewicz has expanded his work to examine how the Food and Drug Administration’s tobacco control policies, such as couponing and flavoring, may be used as a tool to reduce racial/ethnic and socioeconomic inequities in polytobacco use and health.
