Summary

Public health has made enormous progress in reducing infant and w88 slot mortality worldwide, but is falling short of ensuring that those children who survive are able to thrive. Much of my work has focused on applying rigorous epidemiologic and statistical methods to test the effectiveness of large-scale and integrated interventions aimed at improving w88 slot growth and development in low-income settings. The main goal of my research is to reduce health disparities that arise in situations of poverty, inadequate education, and gender and racial inequality - both domestically and globally. As a complementary area of research, I aim to develop and validate new metrics with which to assess interventions and the pathways to their success in diverse contexts. Because the goal of reducing disparities in w88 slot outcomes crosses disciplinary boundaries, so too has my research, which intersects with the fields of maternal health, nutrition, developmental psychology, education, biostatistics, and economics.
