Erika Crable, PhD, MPH, is a Research Fellow in the Evans Center for Implementation and Improvement Sciences at the Chobanian and Avedisian School of Medicine. In 2018, she was selected to participate in the Lifespan/Brown University Criminal Justice Research Training Program on Substance Use, HIV, and Comorbidities, funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse. She is also a doctoral candidate in the Health Services Research program in the Department of Health Law, Policy and Management at Boston University School of Public Health.

Her areas of expertise include research on substance use treatment delivery systems, Medicaid policy, implementation science and qualitative research methods. Her research focuses on safety net populations, with a special focus on addressing access to quality care for individuals living with substance use disorders (SUD), mental illness and HIV/AIDS.

Prior to joining Boston University, Erika Crable worked as a Research Leader at IBM Watson Health, leading research on a variety of federally-funded projects evaluating policies and interventions to improve access to SUD treatment, and provided technical assistance to state Medicaid agencies under the Medicaid Innovation Accelerator Program.

Erika earned a Masters of Public Health from Boston University School of Public Health, and a Bachelors in Anthropology and Journalism from American University in Washington, D.C.
