Psychiatry Ground Rounds, March 2, 2022
Huntsman Mental Health Institute (HMHI) is pleased to welcome Evan Goldstein, PhD, MPP, as the Department of Psychiatry Grand Rounds speaker on Wednesday, March 2. His presentation is titled "Firearms and Suicide: Intervention through Policy and Practice."
Dr. Evan Goldstein joined the University of Utah in July 2021 as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Population Health Sciences (Health System Innovation and Research Division). He is an early-career investigator with a background in health policy and health services research and advanced training in the social sciences. Broadly, Evan's research focuses on the impact of public policies on healthcare, suicide prevention, and access to health care by underserved populations, especially mental health services. His research on suicide prevention and mental health care delivery is published in Health Affairs, the Journal of Adolescent Health, Annals of Family Medicine, and Psychiatric Services. Evan's long-term goal is to establish a translational research program to better understand the social and health system determinants of suicide for underserved and underrepresented populations. Through his work, Evan seeks to provide health systems and policymakers with knowledge and tools for implementing culturally-competent interventions and making measurable progress in reducing disparities in suicide outcomes.
Before joining the University of Utah faculty, Evan worked at the Behavioral and Policy Sciences Department at the RAND Corporation. In a previous career, Evan managed behavioral health care integration programs for a large Federally Qualified Health Center in Cleveland, Ohio. Evan is a proud Ohioan and completed his PhD at Ohio State University. Evan also completed his Master of Public Policy degree at Queens College, Cambridge University, and his undergraduate degree in economics and psychology at Tulane University.
