Peter Jacobson, JD, MPH

Before coming to the University of Michigan, Peter Jacobson was Senior Behavioral Scientist at RAND from 1988 to 1996. His current research interests focus on the relationship between law and health care delivery and policy, tobacco control policy, law and public health, and public health systems.

In 1995, Peter received an Investigator Award in Health Policy Research from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to examine the role of the courts in shaping health care policy. He is principal investigator in a study of health care safety net organizational strategy.

His previous studies include the legislative and regulatory implications of defining and implementing medical necessity; the enforcement and implementation of antismoking laws; and the legal and regulatory influences on physician and hospital decisions to detect prenatal substance exposure.
