Adam Carle, Professor of Pediatrics at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, is a clinically and quantitatively trained investigator. He is nationally and internationally recognized as an expert in patient reported outcomes, psychometrics, multilevel models, and quasi-experimental (observational) research methods. He uses structural equation models (SEM), multilevel models (MLM), and contemporary test theory (e.g., item response theory: IRT) to advance the methodological science used to measure health and health related outcomes from the family and child’s perspective and investigate the correlates and causes of children and their families’ well-being. His work also addresses identifying and comparatively evaluating variation in care delivery and policy that influences health and health related outcomes. Additionally, his work seeks to better understand individual and contextual variables’ influences on health at individual, local, system, state, and national levels. He is a PI, Co-PI, or Co-I on numerous Federal grants and has served as a reviewer for Federal granting agencies and national foundations. He is currently an Associate Editor at BMC Medical Research Methodology and at Advances in Patient Reported Outcomes and has published over 100 peer reviewed manuscripts. Along with colleagues, he published the first Structural Equation Modeling book specifically for health and medicine researchers in 2021. Most important, he thinks his family is amazing (including his cattle, sheep, chickens, and dogs).
