John W. Jackson, ScD is an Associate Professor in the Department of Epidemiology at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. His primary academic appointment is in Epidemiology with joint affiliations in Biostatistics. Dr. Jackson develops innovative methods for translational health equity research, focusing on measurement, epidemiology, and policy/intervention effects on health inequities.
Dr. Jackson's research centers on developing methods to identify, refine, and evaluate interventions to eliminate health and healthcare disparities, as well as improving transparency and conduct of observational studies and post-hoc analyses of clinical trials. His work spans causal inference, confounding, decomposition methods, intersectionality, mediation analysis, and health disparities research across multiple domains including mental health, pharmacoepidemiology, and observational studies.
Analysis of Dr. Jackson's recent publications (2024-2025) reveals a strong focus on health equity methodologies, with particular attention to intersectional approaches that examine how multiple marginalized identities compound health disparities. His work frequently applies causal decomposition frameworks to identify intervention targets for reducing disparities across various health conditions including hypertension, mental health, and cancer screening.
