About
Before medical school, Dr. Harris was a research assistant in labs at the Fox Chase Cancer Center and at the University of Pennsylvania, where she investigated the immune response to hepatitis B and C viruses. At Jefferson and Montefiore, Dr. Harris studied antiretroviral medication adherence among HIV-positive persons who were experiencing homelessness. She also constructed and validated an instrument for predicting treatment interruptions of HIV medication.
Dr. Harris' recent research has focused on opioid prescribing in primary care, and has compared the extent to which different agents (hydrocodone and oxycodone) induce long-term use and dependency. She has expanded this focus to include the impact of insurance and out-of-pocket costs on prescription patterns, health outcomes, and governmental policy.
On the treatment side, Dr. Harris is interested in the design and evaluation of treatment interventions for opioid use disorder.
