On this episode of Managed Care Cast, The American Journal of Managed Care® speaks with Brady Post, PhD, assistant professor at Northeastern University and lead author of a study published in this month's issue.

During the conversation, Post shares the inspiration behind his research, key findings, and areas for further investigation.
