Hello! Welcome!

My name is Alexander Adia, and I am a third year doctoral student in Health Policy (Population and Data Science Track) at the University of California, Berkeley.

I am a health policy researcher who studies the effects of changes in healthcare markets and regulations on health outcomes, including financial burden and quality. Given trends in the commercialization of healthcare, I am particularly interested in how provider incentives may not align with patient welfare, as well as the role of policy in addressing this misalignment.

My dissertation work is mostly centered around a) medical debt and changes in market structure and policies and b) hospital consolidation and equity of care. I also hold a specific interest in how policies impact inequities in health, built off my extensive pre-doctoral research experience on topics related to health equity as well as doctoral training as a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Health Policy Research Scholar.
