A recurring focus is colorectal cancer screening, including how personalized risk information and decision aids affect whether and how patients choose to be screened. He also examines ethical questions around research consent, biobanks, and patient privacy.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
