Oral health and health disparities
Dr. Gansky’s research concentrates on oral health, health disparities, applied statistical analyses and related methodological issues. Balancing these components is essential to successful and practical population health research. Methodological examination helps ground health research and build convincing arguments, while collaborative health research generates opportunities for innovative statistical practice and provides challenges for developing ways to solve real world problems.
