DavidWeir’s global work focuses on health-related quality of life, the use of cost-effectiveness measures in health policy and medical decision-making, the role of supplemental health insurance in the Medicare population, and health over the life course. His interests in global health equity align with the Center theme of addressing social and environmental determinants of health. Weir's research increasingly includes comparative analyses from the international family of Health and Retirement Studies that now cover more than half the world’s population.
