Lawrence Kleinman, MD, MPH

Lawrence Kleinman is a pioneer and national leader in child health services research, and in measuring and improving the quality of health and health care. He serves as vice chair and professor for academic development and as director of the Division of Population Health, Quality, and Implementation Sciences the Department of Pediatrics, and Robert Wood Johnson Medical School.

His strength is leading multi and transdisciplinary collaborative teams that convene diverse perspectives and committed individuals and stakeholders to solve difficult problems that require engagement, methodological rigor, and resolution of logistical challenges to advance health and health equity for children from birth through adolescence, mothers, and families.

Dr. Kleinman's research provides the evidence that will support an equitable high high-performing health care system that is well integrated with populations and communities, and improves the health of all Americans while reducing the impact of social determinants on health disparities. A primary care pediatrician, he also has expertise in health equity, data analysis, population and community health, social determinants, and evaluation.

Over the past year, Dr. Kleinman has emerged as a leading thinker regarding the intersection of measurement, COVID-19, and children.

My projects are typically partnered with families and impacted communities. I am expert on conducting community and family engaged research.  I am a research methodologist experienced in quantitative and qualitative methods and I was a pioneer and national leader in child health services research who helped to found the academic field of quality in pediatrics.  I am recognized for my capacity to bring together pluralistic disciplinary and other perspectives to accomplish collaborative science in pursuit of public health.  I am rooted in the integration of bioethics, public health, clinical practice and children’s health, guided by a dynamic life course framework that recognizes the importance of genetic predisposition, the nature and timing of various physical and social exposures (the exposome), and the salutatory impact of many types of resilience factors that may be provided by the family, the community and the health system.
