About me
Allison E. Curry, PhD, MPH is an associate professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Emergency Medicine, and a senior scientist in the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at the Center for Injury Research and Prevention (Children's Hospital of Philadelphia).
Dr. Curry's research focuses on the epidemiology and prevention of motor vehicle crashes in children and adolescents. She leads the development of the New Jersey Safety and Health Outcomes (NJ-SHO) Data Warehouse, a tool being used to advance safety and health research and associated epidemiologic methods through novel linkages of state-level administrative data sources including: driver licensing, motor vehicle crashes, traffic citations, medical records, healthcare utilization, and vital statistics data.
She is the principal investigator of research funded by The Eunice Kennidy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) that aims to establish the scientific foundation for driving safety among teens with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and autism spectrum disorder. Dr. Curry also serves as the site PI for a suite of NICHD- and CDC-funded grants that aim to develop and evaluate novel traffic safety technologies in collaboration with Minnesota HealthSolutions.
