Shaofen focuses on using epidemiological approaches to investigate structural and social determinants of health, particularly in the topic of substance use. He is exceptionally interested in using cutting-edge methods and real-world evidence to evaluate relevant public health interventions, especially national policies. He is experienced in using R language to apply a novel multilevel framework (intersectional multilevel analysis of individual heterogeneity and discriminatory accuracy) of intersectionality, and am currently investigating to integrate it into advanced Bayesian quasi-experimental designs (e.g., natural experiments, synthetic control methods). For real-world practices, Shaofen's research aims to inform tailored, targeting measures to foster population-level health equity.
