Can E-mails Nudge Safer and Better-Informed Prescribing of Risky Drugs? Evidence from a Randomized Trial

Dr. Adam Sacarny, Associate Professor of Health Policy and Management at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health, is a health economist and health policy researcher. His work has explored three key areas: low-value prescribing, hospital performance and productivity, and health plan takeup. Much of his research involves using randomized controlled trials to test interventions in the health care delivery system. His studies on these themes have appeared in economics journals like The American Economic Review, The Review of Economics and Statistics, and American Economic Journal: Economic Policy as well as health policy and medical journals, including Health Affairs, JAMA Psychiatry, and JAMA Health Forum. He additionally holds affiliations with the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) and the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL).
