Aline Vandenbroeck

Welcome to my website! I am a fourth-year PhD candidate in Health Policy and Administration at the University of Illinois Chicago and Affiliated Researcher at Ghent University's Department of Economics. I hold a MSc in Economics (Summa Cum Laude) from Ghent University and a BSc in Economics from Université Libre de Bruxelles.

My research examines the implementation and wide-ranging impacts of health policies and social determinants of health to inform policymaking and promote health equity in the following areas:

• Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR)

• Maternal & Child Health (MCH)

• Healthcare Access for Vulnerable Populations

Methodologically, I use interdisciplinary approaches to produce rigorous research, such as combining legal epidemiology with an applied econometric toolkit. I have extensive experience working with administrative data, medical claims and survey data, as well as leading original data collection efforts.

🏆In 2025, I received the Emerging Scholars in Family Planning grant & the Midwest Roybal Center Doctoral Competition grant.
