Emilia's research utilizes mixed methods, including secondary analyses of large data sets and analyses of primary collected survey and semi-structured interview data. Through her work, she hopes to better understand how efforts to address health-related social needs within health care impact the health care workforce, patient behavior and health outcomes, and health care utilization and costs. Emilia's clinical experiences as a family medicine physician at UCSF provide the impetus for her work.
