Anne Duggan ScD

Anne K. Duggan, ScD is a professor of Population, Family, and Reproductive Health, Health Policy and Management, and Mental Health at the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health. She is the director of the national research and development platform, the Home Visiting Applied Research Collaborative, as well as a co-principal investigator of The Mother and Infant Home Visiting Program Evaluation (MIHOPE). She also co-directs evaluations for two states – Maryland and New Jersey.

Duggan research aims to strengthen the system of early childhood health, education, and family support services, and her approach incorporates the principles and methods of implementation science and theories of behavior to explain unintended variation in the scale-up of evidence-based models in terms of service effectiveness, coordination, and fidelity. She leads the national initiative, Innovation Toward Precision Home Visiting, to broaden and strengthen home visiting effectiveness, by accelerating our understanding of what ingredients of home visiting work best, for which families, and under what conditions.
