The Ivy League – Big Ten Epidemiology of Concussion Study Douglas J. Wiebe, PhD Douglas Wiebe, PhD, is a Professor of Biostatistics and Epidemiology at the Perlman School of Medicine. Dr. Wiebe leads studies of how places, policies and the locations where people spend time have implications for injury risks and health. He directs the SpaceTimeEpi Group and the CDC-funded Penn Injury Science Center. His research interests include environmental risk factors for injury, the methodologic challenges of activity pattern measurement and exposure measurement, and the impact of daily routines on health-related behavior. A number of his studies examine how keeping a firearm at home relates to homicide, suicide, and unintentional shootings of household members. Dr. Wiebe also studies issues of the clinical management of trauma and mild traumatic brain injury.   Bernadette D'Alonzo, MPH Currently a  full-time clinical research coordinator at the University of Pennsylvania, Center for Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics, and Penn Injury Science Center. I completed my MPH at Penn in 2017 and have worked for several years in research, prior to this in the Center for Public Health Initiatives. I currently manage multiple federally funded studies centered around issues of injury, violence, geography, and health. Much of my work involves the collection and integration of data that are derived from multiple sources at different temporal and spatial scales. I also coordinate research activities, lead analyses and manage the Big Ten Ivy League Epidemiology of Concussions study of the Big Ten Ivy League Concussion Consortium.
