Lauren A. Forbes, MD, MPH was raised in a rural, coastal town in Northeastern North Carolina. She completed a Bachelor of Science in Biology with a minor in Chemistry at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Working at the intersection of clinical research and public health encouraged her to earn her Medical Doctorate from the Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University and her Master of Public Health from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
Her research melds clinical research design and policy evaluation with public, maternal, and reproductive health epidemiology. She translates outcomes-based research into health policy by centering her work on underrepresented populations in research such as pregnant women, those with substance use disorder, and people who have abortions. She has published in the Green, Gray, and Pink Journals as well as JAMA affiliates and the policy compendium for the American Medical Association.
