Jenna Rogers graduated with University Honors from the University of Missouri in 2022, earning a B.S. in Psychology and Statistics. As an undergraduate, she worked within the Quantitative Psychology Department for three years in the Medical Decision Research Lab, where she studied the psychological predictors of vaccination intentions against COVID-19 and simulated disease spread in rural areas. She currently uses microsimulation modeling to estimate long-term health outcomes for childhood cancer survivors and evaluate decision-analytic methods for the valuation of improved representation in clinical trials. Jenna wishes to strengthen the ties between quantitative modeling and decision psychology through improving the accuracy and applicability of modeled information in clinical decision-making. Her interests include risk perception and communication, personalized medicine, and preventive health.
