Dr. Zivin’s research applies quantitative methods to mental health services and policy with a focus on predictors and consequences of depression in older adults, Veterans, and other vulnerable populations (including people with multiple medical comorbidities, and people who face barriers accessing and adhering to depression treatment). Her research examines cost-effectiveness of depression care in primary care and specialty mental health settings, mortality risks among patients with depression, employment support needs and productivity, disability, and retirement among those with mood disorders, genetic and psychosocial contributors to late-life depression, and the impact of short- and long-term antidepressant use and adherence on depression, health, and cost outcomes.
