Jason M. Glanz, PhD
Senior Investigator
Jason M. Glanz, PhD, is a Senior Investigator at the Institute for Health Research. Dr. Glanz's research focuses on vaccine safety, vaccine acceptance, substance abuse, and epidemiological methods.
Dr. Glanz earned his Master of Science degree in biostatistics from the University of Massachusetts Amherst and completed his doctoral training in epidemiology at the Colorado School of Public Health. He is a co-principal investigator for the Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD), a nationwide Centers for Disease Control and Prevention-funded project that examines the safety of vaccines and leads research efforts to develop risk communication tools to reduce parental vaccination concerns. He is also co-leading a large randomized pragmatic trial examining the impact and safety of co-dispensing the overdose reversing medication naloxone with opioid prescriptions.
Dr. Glanz is an Associate Clinical Professor of Epidemiology in the Department of Epidemiology at the University of Colorado School of Public Health.

The major goal of this project is to evaluate the safety of currently licensed vaccines in the U.S. To accomplish this goal, we provide electronic clinical data to the weekly dynamic data files and lead specific vaccine safety studies within the VSD.
The objective of this project was to develop epidemiological and statistical methods to study the safety of the recommended childhood immunization schedule.
The objective of this study was to develop and test a vaccine tailored messaging intervention for parents.
Our study will examine the impact and safety of expanded access to naloxone, an effective opioid antidote which reverses opioid overdose, for patients prescribed opioids for pain in two large and diverse health systems.
This study will use epidemiological methods to examine the safety and effectiveness of opioid prescribing practices across three large health systems.
