Connie Hoe, PhD ’15, MSW, conducts research in the areas of health policy analysis and implementation science.
Experiences & Accomplishments
My research focuses on health policy analysis and implementation science. Specifically, I explore the factors that hinder the adoption and implementation of evidence-based interventions/policies; this includes understanding the role of interest groups (e.g. commercial actors) and evidence in these processes. I also develop interventions to bridge the gap between evidence and policy/practice, evaluate the implementation of evidence-based interventions, and collaborate with stakeholders to generate evidence needed to support intervention adoption and implementation. I currently serve as the Endowed Division Head for Policy and Implementation Research for Cancer Prevention at the German Cancer Research Center.
