Benjamin Crabtree, PhD

Co-Principal Investigator

Benjamin Crabtree, PhD, is a Co-Principal Investigator working with Dr. Jaén to accomplish the objectives of the projects. Dr. Crabtree is an expert in the study of practice organization and change and has developed multi-method approaches that integrate qualitative and quantitative methods. This multi-method approach has been implemented in several large federally funded studies with the aim of observing and enhancing the organization of primary care practices and improving the patient services provided within this setting.

Dr. Crabtree will coordinate training of the NDP facilitators and the qualitative analysis of data collected by NDP facilitators. Dr. Crabtree will participate in the review of qualitative and quantitative data and will help formulate the feedback provided to NDP projects. Dr. Crabtree will travel with members of the NDP evaluation team to TransforMED sponsored meetings and co-investigators meeting.

Dr. Crabtree's expertise in the synthesis and analysis of multi-method data, his understanding of practice organization, and his experience with collaborative writing teams and manuscript preparation will be critical as the NDP evaluation team begins to synthesize, analyze and disseminate findings from the NDP.
