Dr. Madden’s research primarily concerns access to health care, the burden of costs on patients, and the consequences of health system changes. She has directed several federally-funded studies examining the impact of changes in pharmacy benefits on access to treatments for chronic illness. Ongoing work looks at food insecurity and affordability of medical care in Medicare, and the intensity and costs of care for individuals with life-limiting illness. Dr. Madden led a qualitative study gathering perspectives of individuals with bipolar disorder navigating different insurance benefits, and stakeholder engagement for the PCORI-sponsored parent grant evaluating the impact of high-deductible insurance plans on adolescents and adults with bipolar disorder. In recent research as part of the Mental Health Research Network, she led inquiries into the completeness of information in medical record data and the use of psychotropics among children with autism spectrum disorders. She is co-investigator on studies of the impact of FDA warnings about antidepressants and suicidality among youth. Past studies examined medication underuse and uncontrolled asthma in a commercially-insured population, access to and affordability of medicines in low- and middle-income countries, and maternal and infant outcomes following changes in hospitalization policies at childbirth. Dr. Madden has particular expertise in large datasets, measurement development and validation, and evaluation methods. She holds a secondary faculty appointment at her prior institution, the Department of Population Medicine at Harvard Medical School and Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute.
