About

Professor Classen’s research focuses on economic causes and consequences of deleterious health behaviors such as obesity, suicide and drug abuse. He has published research on  the intergenerational transmission of obesity and subsequent correlations in human capital investments over time within families as well as the relationship of job loss and durations of unemployment to fluctuations in suicide rates.  He is currently studying the effects of states’ Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs on rates of overdoses from opiate painkillers.

Dr. Classen was awarded the Quinlan Faculty Service Award in 2014 and Outstanding Teacher of the Year for Undergraduate Programs at Quinlan in 2016.  He seeks to engender in students and colleagues an understanding of how Loyola’s mission to promote and foster social justice can be realized through improving health disparities in both the U.S. and foreign health care systems.
