Dr. Peckham leads actionable research to guide enhanced care quality, care coordination and integration of health and social care services for older adults and complex populations (i.e., older adults living with dementia or co-morbid conditions, those living with a serious mental illness (SMI), and unpaid caregivers). She relies on co-design and integrated knowledge translational approaches where people with lived experience (patients, caregivers, care providers, decision makers) are actively involved in her research.
Conducting research that is multi-level demands the use of a variety of methodological approaches (policy analysis, qualitative, co-design, and mixed methods) and I do this within three pillars of study: 1) Understanding effective networks of support for caregivers of individuals living with an AD/ADRD, 2) Building effective health system structures to support the needs of older adults, individuals living with SMI, and their caregivers, and 3) Identifying systemic- and personal-level challenges impacting timely dementia diagnosis. Ultimately, Dr. Peckham seeks to identify lessons learned and best practices to effectively support healthy communities and promote effective health system (re)design efforts.

Rooted within all of my research is an ultimate goal; to identify lessons learned from global health policy in order to facilitate local innovation.
