Faculty Profile

Lisa Prosser

Lisa A. Prosser, PhD, MS

  • Marilyn Fisher Blanch Research Professor, Pediatrics
  • Professor, Health Management and Policy, School of Public Health
  • Professor, Department of Pediatrics, Medical School
  • Associate Vice President, Research - Health Sciences, University of Michigan Office of Research

Dr. Prosser's research focuses on measuring the value of childhood health interventions using methods of decision sciences and economics. Current research topics include newborn screening programs, vaccination programs, and methods for valuing family spillover effects of illness. She also uses quantitative survey methods (health utility assessment, conjoint analysis) to measure health-related quality of life and preferences for health interventions.

Dr. Prosser's research evaluating the cost-effectiveness of vaccination programs has been used in setting national vaccine policy for children and adults. Her work with the Center for Disease Control and Prevention using decision science modeling to evaluate the economic value of COVID-19 vaccination has been used by the ACIP to set national policy recommendations. She is currently a member of the evidence review group for the Advisory Committee on Heritable Disorders in Newborns and Children and the ACIP Zoster Working Group.

Dr. Prosser has contributed to faculty development programs at the department, school, and institutional level. Dr. Prosser is the former Director of the Susan B. Meister Child Health Evaluation and Research Center. She also serves as Associate Vice President for Research - Health Sciences.

She also is Professor, Department of Pediatrics, University of Michigan Medical School and Professor, Department of Health Management and Policy, University of Michigan School of Public Health.
