Dr. Julie Robison, a gerontologist and health services researcher, is a Professor of Medicine and Public Health Science in the Center on Aging at the University of Connecticut (UConn) School of Medicine. She conducts evidence-based health services research and intervention studies focused on aging families and long-term services, supports and policy, using quantitative and qualitative research methods. Her research aims to improve quality of life and quality of care for people who need long-term services and supports (LTSS), and their families.
Dr. Robison is the director of the UConn Center on Aging’s Evaluation and Population Assessment Core and Recruitment and Community Engagement Core. She studies how well LTSS funded by Medicaid, Medicare, and other public-sector sources affect health and well-being outcomes. Specific areas of expertise include effectiveness of LTSS for older adults and their families, designing evaluations of innovative LTSS designed to promote person-centered care and independent living, LTSS for individuals with dementia, and health disparities in the population needing LTSS. The results of her work have direct impact on the implementation of policies and programs that serve extremely vulnerable populations in Connecticut and nationally.
Dr. Robison is the Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Applied Gerontology, an international forum for research with clear and immediate applicability to the health, care, and quality of life of older adults, providing comprehensive coverage of all areas of gerontological practice and policy.
