Ariella Korn is a policy researcher at RAND. Her research aims to advance health equity by enhancing the reach and delivery of evidence-based interventions in under-resourced health care and community settings. Korn has expertise in social drivers of health, multi-level and multi-component health interventions, and behavioral and policy factors related to chronic disease prevention and management. Korn's mixed methods research approach draws from her interdisciplinary training in implementation, population, and systems sciences and integrates the perspectives of community- and practice-based experts.

Prior to joining RAND, Korn was a Cancer Prevention Postdoctoral Fellow with the Implementation Science Team at the National Cancer Institute. She received her B.S. in chemistry from Hobart and William Smith Colleges, her M.P.H. with a concentration in epidemiology and biostatistics from Tufts University School of Medicine, and her Ph.D. in nutrition from the Gerald J. and Dorothy R. Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University.
