Jenna Rogers

PhD Candidate in Health Policy (G5, Decision Sciences)

Jenna Rogers is a PhD Candidate in the Harvard Health Policy Program, concentrating in Decision Sciences. Her research sits at the intersection of decision psychology, risk communication, and decision-analytic modeling, with a focus on how population-level evidence and its uncertainty are translated to support decisions for patients, clinicians, and policymakers. Her dissertation applies this agenda across two evidence gaps: long-term treatment outcomes for childhood cancer survivors and heterogeneous treatment effects in clinical trials with underrepresented subgroups. Methodologically, she integrates Bayesian modeling, microsimulation, decision analysis, and qualitative and survey methods to make evidence both accurate and meaningful for decision-makers. Her work has been recognized with awards from the Society for Medical Decision Making in Decision Psychology and Health Services, Outcomes, and Policy Research. She graduated with University Honors from the University of Missouri in 2022 with a BS in Psychology and Statistics.
