Jake Morgan, PhD, is a health services researcher specializing in using real-world data to inform evidence-based policy, update clinical guidelines, and improve patient access to and quality of care.

His work is focused on the opioid overdose epidemic and how to best support patients by promoting access and retention to medications for opioid use disorder. His work on the comparative effectiveness of medications for opioid use disorder has been cited in a call for research by the director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse Nora Volkow and he has a history of collaboration with Massachusetts Department of Public Health to evaluate and inform addiction treatment services. His work has consistently reinforced the importance of patient choice when it comes to treatment for opioid use disorder and has documented the effects of policies that usurp this choice through onerous requirements for treatment, restricting access to vulnerable populations such as individuals who are incarcerated, and cost-sharing schemes that disincentivize treatment. As an applied health economist with extensive experience in statistical, econometric, and simulation modeling approaches, Dr. Morgan frequently works alongside clinical researchers to highlight (and cost) the best treatment interventions for patients. He is currently involved with the Health Economics core of the The HEALing Communities Study; the Prevention and Rescue Of Fentanyl and Other Opioid Overdoses Using Optimized Naloxone Distribution Strategies (PROFOUND) study; the Researching Effective Strategies to Prevent Opioid Death (RESPOND) simulation model, and; The Determining Effective Testing in Emergency Departments and Care Coordination on Treatment Outcomes (DETECT) for HCV trial.

Dr. Morgan works closely with The Center for Health Economics of Treatment Interventions for Substance Use Disorder, HCV, and HIV (CHERISH) as a member of the Population Data and Modeling Core and is the primary representative for Boston University School of Public Health. The Center’s mission is to develop and disseminate health economic research on healthcare utilization, health outcomes, and health-related behaviors to inform policy to improve care for individuals with substance use disorder, HIV, and HCV. To that end, CHERISH offers resources and consultations to support this type of research for trainees and investigators at any stage.
