Corinne A. Riddell, PhD, MSc
Biography
Corinne Riddell, PhD, MSc, is a social and perinatal/pediatric epidemiologist and quantitative methodologist. Her research program evaluates trends in health outcomes during infancy and childhood and the factors impacting infant and child health. She also examines racial and ethnic inequalities in health and evaluates the impact of exposures and policy changes on health and health equity. Much of her research involves the analysis of large, population-based datasets, such as birth certificates, death certificates, and hospitalization records. Dr. Riddell employs a variety of methods in her research, including interrupted time series designs, difference-in-differences analysis, fixed effects regression, marginal structural models, case-time-control designs, and demographic decomposition approaches.
In Fall 2018, she led the evolution of PH142 (Introduction to Biostatistics in Public Health) to incorporate R for data science and introduce students to data manipulation and visualization as part of their public health education. She is currently teaching methods in social epidemiology (PH255D).
