Curriculum Vitae

Markus Feufel is a post-doctoral fellow at the Harding Center for Risk Literacy. His research focuses mainly on medical decision making. His research has investigated the impact of information formats on healthy behaviors such as colorectal cancer self-screening (Feufel, Schneider, & Berkel, in press). One direction for future research is to better understand patients' active role in the care delivery process and its relevance for effective and safe care delivery. His dissertation research investigated physicians' decision making under medical and social uncertainty as well as time and resource constraints. In this vein, future research will investigate how providers make a trade-off between medically safe and resource-efficient decisions by exploiting constraints introduced by the health care system on one hand and the patient's personal circumstances on the other. Knowledge about how the safety-efficiency tradeoff is resolved in different cultural settings will provide insights and guidelines as to how safe and efficient care delivery can be best supported at both the level of the individual patient/physician as well as the health care system. Underlying Markus Feufel's research topics is an interest in evaluating the relative benefit and sociocultural significance of psychological interventions in a modern and dynamic society (Feufel & Shalin, under review).
