Bio

Marlon P. Mundt, PhD (he/him/his) is a professor and director of health economics at the University of Wisconsin Center for Tobacco Research and Intervention. Mundt leads a program of research focused on the costs and benefits of treatments to help people stop smoking cigarettes.

He has published more than 110 peer-reviewed scholarly articles in a variety of multidisciplinary professional journals including JAMA Network, Tobacco Control, American Journal of Managed Care, Value in Health, Journal of Youth and Adolescence, Annals of Family Medicine, Applied Health Economics and Health Policy, Drug and Alcohol Dependence, Health Affairs, Alcoholism-Clinical & Experimental Research, and International Journal of Nursing Studies and Injury Prevention among others. His recent studies evaluate the cost-effectiveness of providing financial incentives to patients who smoke to engage in tobacco-cessation treatment with a tobacco quit line counselor.

Mundt’s goal is to optimize tobacco-treatment options in order to achieve the greatest impact within the bounds of available resources. The overall aim of his work is to find the most cost-effective ways to help people stop smoking.

Research Interests

Mundt is a productive principal investigator, collaborator, and co-investigator on fifteen National Institutes of Health (NIH) R01 grants and scores of other research projects totaling more than $47 million in overall combined NIH and other agency funding. His research is focused on three broad aims:

  • Evaluate the cost-effectiveness of electronic health record clinical decision support (CDS) screen alerts, artificial intelligence natural language processing automated CDS approaches, and mobile health applications designed to improve patient outcomes
  • Facilitate health system improvements targeting higher quality of care delivery at lower medical costs
