He collaborates with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) Program and is affiliated with the Maine Education Policy Research Institute. His research focuses on developmental epidemiology (e.g., newborn hearing loss, developmental disabilities), biobehavioral informatics (data linkage systems), and quantitative methods (growth modeling, structural equation modeling).
Education:
- Ph.D., 1993, Child Clinical Psychology, University of Washington
- B.S., 1986, Psychology, Brigham Young University
Research Interests: Mason’s work bridges developmental epidemiology and quantitative methods. In developmental epidemiology, he examines educational outcomes for children with disabilities, particularly those with hearing loss, birth defects, or developmental disabilities. His biobehavioral informatics research emphasizes electronic data systems for healthcare and education. Quantitative methods form a core of his work, with expertise in growth modeling, structural equation modeling, and epidemiological analysis. He also explores technology-enhanced math education through platforms like ASSISTments.
Affiliations & Collaborations: He collaborates with the CDC’s EHDI Program and the Maine Education Policy Research Institute, contributing to national newborn screening initiatives and policy research.
