Senior Epidemiologist and Biostatistician
Harvard Medical School
Boston, Massachusetts, United States
Dr. Monuteaux is the Senior Epidemiologist and Biostatistician in the Division of Emergency Medicine and the Assistant Director of the Biostatistics and Research Design Center of the Institutional Centers for Clinical and Translational Research, both of Boston Children's Hospital. He works as a methodologist and biostatistician in collaboration with emergency medicine physician investigators in the design and analysis of clinical research studies, including retrospective and prospective cohort studies, clinical decision rule development and evaluation, quality improvement, multivariable and longitudinal analyses, survey design, and clinical trial methods. He has co-authored 230 publications, including over 120 to date in emergency medicine and related areas. He has presented original research findings in emergency medicine at national and international scientific meetings and serves as a methodological editor to two high-impact clinical research journals.
Dr. Monuteaux is also an independent investigator in the study of injury and firearm violence. This work has identified several risk factors for emergency care of violent injury in children and quantified the economic cost of intentionally inflicted injuries in children. He has documented associations between state-level firearm control legislation and firearm fatalities (including suicide) and state-level firearm ownership and firearm-related violent crime. A recent study estimated the reduction in youth firearm-related suicide and unintentional mortality that would result if more adults practiced safe firearm storage. These findings have contributed to the epidemiology of violent injuries in children and informed the ongoing public debate on firearm ownership and regulation, specifically its relation to injury and mortality. He has delivered invited science platform presentation on the epidemiology of firearm violence in children at a recent national scientific meeting.
