Rate My Professor Elizabeth Juarez-Colunga

Her research specializes in statistical methods for survival analysis, recurrent event and point process modeling, longitudinal data analysis, joint modeling, and health outcomes research. She collaborates with clinical and health-services researchers in geriatrics, palliative care, neurology, nephrology, rehabilitation, and related fields. Key publications include "Efficient panel designs for longitudinal recurrent event studies using a B-spline approximation method for the intensity function" (Biostatistics, 2014), "A framework for covariate balance using Bregman distances" (Scandinavian Journal of Statistics, 2021), "Dynamic prediction based on variability of a longitudinal biomarker using a Bayesian joint modeling approach" (Statistical Methods in Medical Research, 2021), "Increases in Advance Directive Completion Through the Patient Portal Among Younger and Healthier Population During the COVID-19 Pandemic" (Journal of Palliative Medicine, 2025), "A personalized prediction of longitudinal growth using People-Like-Me methods" (Computers in Biology and Medicine, 2025), "Community Health Worker Support for Hispanic and Latino Individuals Receiving Hemodialysis: The Navigate-Kidney Randomized Clinical Trial" (JAMA Internal Medicine, 2026), and "Effect of transfemoral prosthetic suspension on static and dynamic postural control: A comparison between socket-prostheses and bone-anchored limbs" (Gait & Posture, 2026). Juarez-Colunga received the Delta Omega Public Health Honor Society Alpha Upsilon Chapter Inductee award in 2022 and the Faculty Excellence in Student Mentoring Award from the Colorado School of Public Health in 2025. Her contributions advance statistical tools for analyzing complex longitudinal data in clinical and epidemiological contexts.
