Biography
Dr. Mariétou Ouayogodé is an Associate Professor of Population Health Sciences at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. She is a health economist and health services researcher with strong interest in understanding and evaluating the effectiveness and (financial and non-financial) implications of health care interventions, policy as well as non-policy changes. Over the years, her research has investigated policy-driven questions in health, behavioral, and public economics. Dr. Ouayogodé has gained expertise in evaluating changes occasioned by policy as well as non-policy changes (e.g. the COVID-19 pandemic) and understanding how and to what extent people and institutions respond to incentives, regulatory changes, and other environmental changes in and outside of the health care environment. She has led and collaborated with interdisciplinary teams on projects assessing 1) the impact of changes in policy and models for disruptive change in the healthcare environment with implementation of accountable care organizations (ACOs) and other alternative payment models on provider behavior, quality of care, patient health outcomes such as spending, benefit utilization, and mortality, 2) the impact of public policies on social determinants of health, and 3) the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on access to care, labor market outcomes, food insecurity, and mental health.
Dr. Ouayogodé earned a B.B.A in economics from the J. Mack Robinson College of Business and later a M.A and Ph.D in Economics from the Andrew Young School of Policy Studies at Georgia State University in Atlanta, Georgia. Prior to joining the University of Wisconsin–Madison, she completed a post-doctoral research fellowship at the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice in the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth.
