Assistant Professor at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health. Katherine focuses her research on life course epidemiology with particular attention to substance use and psychiatric disorders. Her empirical research has documented a narrowing gender gap in the prevalence and course of alcohol abuse and dependence over time, as well as the effects of changing social norms on birth cohort effects in marijuana and alcohol use in adolescence. Dr. Keyes is an expert on methodological issues in age-period-cohort effect estimation and has conducted age-period-cohort analysis on a range of health outcomes, including autism, obesity, breast cancer, and substance disorders. Her work has highlighted and extended several existing age-period-cohort methods, most notably including the median polish method. Dr. Keyes also has explored the effects of early life exposures on adolescent and adult health, documenting long-term consequences of child maltreatment on internalizing and externalizing psychiatric disorders in adulthood and the sensitizing effects of childhood maltreatment on exposures to stress in adulthood.
