Primary Care - Research Initiative (PCRI)
The Primary Care - Research Initiative (PCRI) is an independent research organization based in Miami Lakes, Florida, dedicated to uncovering the systemic drivers of health disparities.
In an era of big data, traditional frequentist statistics often fail to capture the nuances of minority health trends. PCRI was founded to fill this void by applying Advanced Bayesian Modeling to public health surveillance data. Our mission is to provide policymakers and healthcare leaders with the evidence needed to dismantle financial and structural barriers to care.
