Dr. Joyce is an Assistant Professor of Epidemiology at the Brown School of Public Health and an Associate Fellow at the Center for Injury Prevention at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
Dr. Joyce is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Epidemiology, member of the Center for Gerontology and Health Care Research (CGHCR), co-founder of the Transportation and Health Initiative at Brown University with Dr. Andrew Zullo and Associate Fellow at the Center for Injury Prevention (CIRP) at children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Though her training is in epidemiology, she frequently collaborates with researchers across departments, including Health Services Research and Economics. As a result, she has developed an interdisciplinary research agenda that aims to place traditional clinical epidemiological research within the context of current health policy.
Her current research interests include strategies for improving the safe-mobility of older adults and advancing methods for studying causes of motor vehicle crashes, particularly among older adults with dementia or other cognitive impairment. In addition, she is interested in advancing methods for generalizing findings from cluster randomized trials to a new target populations, with a focus on applications for nursing home research.
