Brianna Sullivan

Brianna Sullivan specializes in survey development and testing, cognitive interviews, data collection procedures, survey analysis, and health care evaluations. Her research includes novel assessments of patients’ experience of care and evaluations on transformation and quality of primary care.

Sullivan has over 10 years of experience working on health data collection and evaluation projects, such as the Evaluation of Primary Care First (PCF), the Evaluation of a Multisite Replication of the Transitional Care Model (TCM), and the Evaluation of Comprehensive Primary Care Plus (CPC+). She is currently the survey director for PCF, where she leads all survey data collection and analysis activities, including surveys of primary care practices and physicians, as well as writing and synthesis of survey data findings with other evaluation data.

In addition to quantitative survey research, Sullivan has experience conducting qualitative research for projects such as the Data Analyses for Behavioral Health, Disability, and Aging Policy: Adult Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), where she conducted and analyzed interviews with people with lived experience to describe patient journeys, barriers, and facilitators to receiving a diagnosis of ADHD in adulthood. Sullivan also enjoys providing technical assistance to smaller community partners for their own evaluation work. For example, she currently serves as the project director for the ACT4All E-Bike Grant project where she provides evaluation and data collection technical assistance to MassBike in support of their free E-Bike Program for low-income residents.

Before joining Mathematica in 2014, Sullivan held various research positions at institutions such as Boston University School of Public Health and Yale School of Medicine. She has an M.P.H. in community health sciences from Boston University School of Public Health.
