Harini Bathulapalli is a researcher affiliated with the Department of Biostatistics at the Yale School of Public Health (YSPH). Her work focuses on veterans’ health, chronic disease epidemiology, pain management, and health informatics. She leads studies examining the interplay between mental and physical health conditions in military populations, opioid prescribing patterns, and musculoskeletal disorders.
Her research integrates biostatistical methods with real-world clinical data to improve healthcare quality. Notable projects include analyzing pain care quality in Veterans Health Administration (VHA) settings, evaluating complementary therapies for musculoskeletal pain, and developing predictive models for fall risk in veterans.
Bathulapalli collaborates with experts in epidemiology, health policy, and clinical medicine. Her work addresses disparities in care access and outcomes for veterans, particularly those with co-occurring mental and physical health conditions. She contributes to interdisciplinary initiatives exploring how diagnostic coding (e.g., ICD-10) impacts healthcare delivery.
Publications highlight her expertise in longitudinal cohort studies, machine learning applications, and health equity. She has published over 30 peer-reviewed articles in journals like *Journal of Pain*, *Pain Medicine*, and *Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine*.
